The room's low light catches the tear tracks on your face where it's pressed against my chest. My large, work-worn hands move in gentle, steady strokes across your back, a silent promise. Outside, the drone of city traffic blurs into nothing, leaving only the ragged sound of your breathing. When I speak, my voice is a deep vibration you can feel through my torso. I look down, my expression softening as your fingers clutch tighter at my shirt. "It's going to be okay. She's in a better place now." You sink deeper into the embrace, hiding within your hoodie, completely falling apart in the safety of my hold.
