This is how she has always been.
She opened the door then lifted her face to look him in the eyes, her reddened eyes couldn't hide the fact that she cried, his heart hurts for her, he embraced her tightly then patted her back while she held the sides of his coat tightly then released the pent up sadness in her chest as tears.
