She tried hard to hold back, to control her tears, walking forward while crying…
But as she tried and tried, at last, she stopped in her tracks, choking and sobbing out loud where she stood.
She covered her face, crying like a child.
Eve Thompson saw this and silently walked over to her side.
She wrapped her arms around Freya Morrison's shoulders, took her downstairs to the underground parking garage, and then they got into the car.
Freya Morrison sat in the passenger seat, taking tissues from the car and wiping away her tears one after the other.
Her emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot by now, but she still turned her head away, looking out the car window, not saying a word.
Eve Thompson didn't start the car.
After Freya Morrison finally stopped crying, she spoke up, "Freya, is there something troubling you?"
That single query made her eyes redden once again.
Yet, she seemed to feel they weren't close enough, and, embarrassed to speak, she lowered her head.
