Summary
"I will not come closer unless you ask me to. I understand if you do not wish me to. But... I..." he sounds so nervous, hesitant, and it surprises her.

He kneels next to her, extending his arms. She crumples against his chest, holding onto the stolen shirt like it was the last remain of a sunken boat. Sunflower clinging to the last Ray of sun, a newly born babe holding its mother's finger.
Entreri wraps his hands around her, drags them slowly up and down her back.
"You are safe," he says as she cries into his chest, "I've got you."
