Jaxon didn't ask what happened. He didn't even say anything. All he did was let her soak his shirt with tears. But that sight… The sight of her in so much hurt, caused an aching in his heart. Something he hadn't felt before. A different type of aching. The way her grip tightened around him was enough to make his entire system want to punch the gut of whoever was the reason. But instead, he felt the need to comfort her. To ensure she was alright. To be a chest to sob on. To be there for her. And so, once the tears were over, he took her to the back seat of his car, not caring how her wet body would affect it, then sat beside her, while Owen, who'd been in the driver's seat, drove off. The ride to his cottage was the most silent it had ever been. Reene just sat there, feeling small and awkward beside him, while his gaze couldn't help but occasionally shift to her like she might disappear anytime soon. How he got there, she had no clue, but she was glad to have him beside her
