Len turned slightly, letting his eyes lock with her briefly. He recognized she was trying to help him. For a brief moment, he saw the girl from his dream looking back at him, but his mind never registering the connection. He wasn't hiding his emotions. Besides, the pain and determination to calm down, he was scared.<br/><br/>With a barely audible apology, he leaned toward her and took her into his arms. He pulled her into his lap, holding her tightly as his tears intensified. If his actions had any effects on her, he knew he'd have hell to pay later. Right now, he didn't care, he just needed her warmth and comfort. His head found her shoulder, almost touching her neck.<br/><br/>"I will," He managed through quiet sobs, "I just really need this right now."<br/><br/>He squaze her slightly, knowing he was taking a huge risk holding her like this. It was wrong but he found it strangely comforting and satisfying. He really hoped she didn't mind this. He didn't want her to hate him for doing something stupid.
