At first, Rose made as if she was going to pull away, but this was Lissa. Her best friend, who knew her better than anyone had ever known her. Sure, they'd had some hard times lately...they'd even fought a little, but for the first time in months she felt like she could let her guard down just a little and let herself hurt.
She wrapped her arms around Lissa, burying her face in her shoulder. She tried not to cry, but there was no use. With anyone else, she wouldn't have broken down like this, but with Lissa it was almost impossible not to.
