Eliza nodded, understanding the weight of his words. "Its okay.." she replied softly. "it's not your fault, Vaughn. You can't control how she feels."
Vaughn looked at Eliza, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotions but also a deep, unwavering love for her. "I know," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I hate seeing her like that. She's been through so much already, and now…"
Eliza reached out and placed a hand on his arm, offering him the comfort he so desperately needed. "She'll be okay.. don't worry..," she said, her voice gentle. "She just needs time."
Vaughn nodded, though the weight of the situation still lingered heavily on his shoulders. He looked in the direction Nora had run, a part of him wanting to go after her, to make sure she was okay, but he knew that it would only make things worse. He had to give her space, let her process her feelings in her own time.
