As---upset, and disappointed, and frustrated and just confused as she was with everything, with her husband, Bess didn't hesitate in lurching toward him. She crashed into his chest and her arms slung around him tightly because----this was more than just hiding a little sister's secret boyfriend, this was uncovering more than a year's worth of depression and anguish for Penelope. This was...unleashing something in Drystan that she'd never seen before and didn't know how to help.
She could be there for him. Bess would be there for Drystan, and for Penelope if she wanted her to be. It was all she could do, and she had to work hard to keep this family from completely dissolving. Hearing the cracks in his voice nearly killed her and...Bess kissed the side of his face, muttering over and over a quiet 'I love you,' because it was literally all she could do right now.
"We'll be all right," she whispered with a shaky breath, not loosening her grip on Drystan.
