Re: Near the elevator
Isobel jumped in surprise when Theo came up behind her, and it was clear how on edge the woman was with the scream of shock she let out. It took her a moment to recognise him, to even think to understand what he had just said to her. Nothing made sense except the tears that were rolling down her cheeks, and she felt so shattered and hurt.
So she did what any girl in her position would do. She stumbled the short distance between them and simply clung to his shoulders as she sobbed. All the things she had started to count on since moving here had vanished and Isobel didn't know how to cope with this sort of hurt.
