One person that she'd foregone her gloves for. For a moment, she felt like she couldn't breathe. Like the world was trying to crush her under its heel.
She doesn't remove her hand from his face, letting him feel that she was there. It didn't matter how badly it was affecting her as long as he focused on her. Made sure that she was real and there. She does, however, give him a soft smile.
