God, she'd only suggested going in and he already had that weight back on his shoulders. Like there was nothing he'd hate doing more than going back to where his wife was. She stubbed out her own cigarette after a final few drags and sighed. It was sad, what she saw of him, but what else was there that she could do to make him feel better, she'd done all that she could in terms of what she could do to help. She'd wanted to make him feel better about himself and whoring around him wasn't the way.
Sure she could think of a million and one interesting ways he could repay her but that wasn't why she'd done it. Maybe for once she'd done it cause it was right. And so when he'd asked that she'd mearly smiled. "You can repay me by sorting this out, for the kids sake. You can repay me by being at my desk at 9pm ready to work." That grimice though, it honestly damn near broke her heart.
"Come here" she said softly, as she stood up, arms open to him for a hug. It was something was it not. It wasn't bad. He needed it, maybe it'd give him a measure of strength for the rest of the day, who knew.
