Kathy took his hand, marveling anew at how strong he was. Her hand felt so small in his again.
"I wish you didn't but glad you do," she told him.
She thought for a moment about what it would be like to not have him around to understand the feelings that were too big for words from trauma. And then had a moment when she realized how lonely he must have been in high school when he was feeling this way and people hadn't understood. She hadn't understood.
Her eyes filled again and she wrapped her arms around herself to keep from hugging him.
