"you okay?" he asks her and she almost instantly nods, making sure it isn't obvious that she flat out lied.
"you sure?" he asks again, and the tiniest of smiles appear on her lips as she sighs before muttering a not so truthful yes.
he stares at her and then asks, "are you positive?" to which she feels like crying a river full of nothing but pain.
he gives her a meaningful look and she finally settles with the truth, forcing herself not to feel ashamed.
"no," she murmurs, the words dying on her lips as he pulls her into his arms; her heart aching with regret, sorrow, and anxiety but melts with something as simple as his touch because he cared enough to ask - not once, or twice, but three times ー he cared and that's more than enough.
