Even if he couldn't see her tears, Simon could hear the anguish in April's voice.  He put down his lunch on the floor before clasping her around the waist in his arms and pulling her close to him.  "Shh...shh...  There's no need to apologize.  You've done the right thing coming here."  He spoke soothingly as he rocked her gently.  "You're safe with me, my love."<br/><br/>Simon kissed her neck as he rubbed her stomach in an easy circle.  "Why don't we go inside, where it's a lot more comfortable and you can tell Simon all about your tears?"  His other hand pulled out his key and began unlocking the door as he continued to soothe April.
