Something on you mind?" Oh my goodness, I am hugging LouAnn Purple, Rafe thought. This is insane, she smelled so...no, no...consoling thoughts, help her out. She's your friend and be a shoulder for her to cry on.
LouAnn tried to reply to Rafe---tried to tell him that she
wasn't okay, and that she hadn't been in quite some time. Every time she tried to open her mouth, though, another sob escaped her. "I---I---I...I'm sorry, Rafe," she mumbled, putting her face into the palm of her hands to hide her tear-stained face. She wiped away most of the tears then glanced back up at him just in time to engulfed into a hug. She hugged him back, happy to have someone to turn to in such hard times. "I'm so sorry, Rafe. I shouldn't have broke down in front of you like. I just haven't been feeling well lately is all."
