TWENTY- FIVE: DAISES.

Elaine never had much experience consoling people.

Growing up alone, if there was anyone that constantly needed consoling it was her and barely having anyone to do it for her, she took up that task herself but that was it. She never had to actually console anyone else making her totally clueless on how to console people.

Or at least, so she thought.

Cause apparently, all she needed to do was stare at Alexander for a couple of seconds to know what she needed to do. It was like it came so naturally. Like it was the right thing to do. The only expected thing for her to do.

He froze in her embrace for what seemed like a couple of seconds before she finally felt him softening. He didn’t hug her back though, simply remaining in her arms while she wrapped them around him tighter, offering him comfort and companionship in ways he had no idea he needed.

They remained in that position for a while and not even for a second, did any of them realize how weird and unusual what was going on was.
