'How am I supposed to comfort her like this? I've never done this before!' James said, his eyes doing the talking as he nervously looked at his girlfriend's best friend for help.
Lily shrugged. Not saying a word as she chose to speak with the silent language of speaking with one's eyes.
'Well, do something! You're her boyfriend after all. Only you can help her while she's in this state. I've never even seen her like this before! You're not the only one who's new to this.'
'And what exactly am I supposed to do?'
'Just kiss her or hug her or something,' Lily suggested.
James, getting desperate, wrapped his arm around his girlfriend, who hadn't noticed their silent conversation.
Emma buried her face in James' neck, trying to stop herself from breaking down in tears.
He stroked her back, startled by her sudden doing, but also trying to calm her down.
"Baby, I'll be fine," he reassured, "It's just an award."
Emma looked up, eyes shining with tears.
