Just as she might have broken away, she heard his words, and it just broke a dam inside her. She suddenly began to shake, soft sobs escaping as she buried her face against his neck. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and she held him tightly against her, clinging desperately to him. Everything had just hit her at once-the coma, the nightmares, the mayor's death, showing up here, the fight with Buffy, Pike getting injured. One thing had just piled on top of another.
