He didn’t say anything now to calm me or make me stop crying. ![]() I was probably getting snot all over him, but I didn’t care. I resisted slightly at first, not wanting the fuss, but then just gave up and buried my head into his chest. Dex watched me for a few seconds, then put both arms around my shoulders and gently pulled me into him. I began to sob and bawl, letting out everything from tonight, everything from last week and probably everything from the last twenty-two years. And my tears were exactly what he wanted. Yesterday I was too embarrassed to cry in front of Dex but now I didn’t care at all. ![]() I kept my eyes open and unblinking for as long as I could until they were so full of tears that I had to shut them. With the tears that started to rush to my eyes, I knew it was time to break down. It reminded me of the film Good Will Hunting when Robin Williams says “It’s not your fault” over and over again to Matt Damon until he snaps and breaks down. I assumed he wanted to further torment me, but he looked so.compassionate, such a 180 from two seconds ago, that I knew he was trying to make sure I was all right. ![]() ![]() “I had to.” I expected him to move away and give me some breathing room. ![]()
