But the point is, she's still doing it. The point is, maybe he regretted doing what he did. There's so much she can't know. But it's still something she does. And that's the important part.

He reaches out, slow, like he's trying to pet a cat, and then gently puts his hand on hers.

"I hope so too."

She's not expecting it. She doesn't jump, doesn't startle, he moves too carefully for that - but her eyes still dart down the moment he actually touches her, and the lightness of it actually makes the thick feeling in her throat worse for a moment.

But even if she's surprised, even if she wouldn't have instigated, she is a tactile creature after all; she turns her hand over under his, and takes his hand properly in hers.

"I'm... happy you asked. And spoke."

"Thank you for listening."

She's the first person that's heard some of these stories, not just here but at all. He didn't do much talking about the past, it was a different country, a far away place.

But when it came to Jack, when it came to her mother and the people she had lost so recently, it feels so much closer. Maybe it will help bring them back tonight, if only for a short time.
