[Of course Allison wants to be alone. She goes to nod her head to that affect...
...and shakes it no instead.
She's calmer, but she's raw, and the hand at her back is met with a flinch, but she doesn't move away and only cries harder as it jars something loose inside her. She's so raw and aching and there's no one there...Zane isn't pack, isn't even really a friend, but he's soft spoken and that hand on her back is gentle, and she needs it.
So she huddles in on herself, weeping into his handkerchief, and lets him rub her back soothingly...and it's all soothing. She's actually calming, and it's easy.
It shouldn't be so easy to stop crying herself sick like that, should it?...]
