[She wasn't even shocked when he hugged her. She saw it coming and let her eyes fall shut as he wrapped his arms around her. She lifted her hands, touching him gently at long last. She pulled her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his neck. She let out a few more shuddering sobs and pulled herself as close to him as she could. Taking in a deep breath, breathing in his scent.
It seemed to her that he cared. That he cared about how she felt, and wanted to comfort her, because her pain caused him pain too. She still had little idea as to why, but she didn't mind. She still didn't fully understand why she felt so comfortable with him. Why she was so desperate to be comforted with him. She dug her fingers into the small of his back as she exhaled, finally able to calm down enough to think clearly. But even then, she just let herself relax for a moment. She ddn't need to calculate or plan for that moment. She could just, sit there, in his arms and forget her troubles for a moment. Even if he was still largely a stranger, he wasn't the one hurting her.]
