She could feel his arms tighten around her, she could hardly breath from his constricting embrace, but she ignored the sensation and focused on him, instead. She wasn't sure of the things that were spiraling through his head, but she did know that all she could do for him at this point was to be there for him, just as he needed. She knew that their world was messy, but somehow they were able to run into each other amidst the chaos that engulfed the earth. She wasn't going to let him go for anything, not anything at all. She couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips as he commented on the damp fabric of her shirt, her fingers continuing their gentle patterns across his back. "Don't worry about it, shirts tend to dry." She responds with a lopsided smile, the rising and falling of his chest growing even.<br/><br/>When he asked his next question, requesting that she explain to him the horror that Clyde had put her through, her hand froze against his frame. Now it was her turn to stiffen. She let out a long breath and pulled away from his embrace, her hands moving to cup his face instead. Her thumbs trace under his eyes, wiping away the tears he had shed, a sad smile on her face. "Yeah, he was but, uh... don't worry about it." She gave him another smile, leaning in and pressing her lips softly to his. Part of her was kissing him because she wanted to, because she thought he needed it, but the other part of her was hoping to distract him from his previous question. She held their kiss for a moment longer than needed before eventually pulling back, resting her forehead against his.<br/><br/>She trusted him, she did, but some things were just too difficult to say. What the Alpha did to her was horrible, disgusting, inhumane, but what Clyde did to her was just sheer torture. Sure, he hadn't physically caused her harm... well... not a lot of harm, but the one thing that he was remembered for would stay with her for the rest of her life. She wasn't sure if she wanted to relive it, if she wanted to go through those memories in her head. But she also knew that if he pushed the right buttons, she would tell him, she had to tell him. But for now she just leaned against him, breathing him in as they embraced each other. She couldn't think of a safer place in the world than in his arms, they just fit.
