"I was there. Close enough to see," Faye said, and oh god that was a sniffle.

She was hurting, but she knew he was too, and while Faye had never been an openly empathetic person -- she also knew that shutting him out entirely wasn't going to help any of this.

So she moved, just a little bit, to make room for him next to her. She didn't know how to ask for comfort, even if that was absolutely what she wanted right now no matter how resistant she was to the concept, but she could kind of just...make room for him, there.
