Astrid’s eyes, stained with the tracks of tears, lifted to meet Thalassa’s gaze. “You must be hurting more than me,” Astrid whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Don’t hold it back. Cry if you need to-it might ease the pain a little.”

Hearing Astrid’s words, the dam of Thalassa’s self-restraint burst, and tears began to flood. She wrapped her arms around Astrid, sobbing uncontrollably like a helpless child.

Astrid held her close, sharing in her sorrow.
