[ She was -- really crying. Maybe she'd been childish sometimes, but she always seemed fairly proud and composed, in her strange way, and, again, he's surprised that she's showing this vulnerable side to him. He misjudged her. He really did. Garry had always half-thought that she was just playing him, but these tears were genuine, though he's not sure what part of what he said provoked them.
It's okay if she's soaking his coat - it's seen worse, and he doesn't mind being a shoulder for someone to cry on. After a moment's pause and confirmation that she was going to stay there, he quietly wraps his arms around her, one hand moving to gently stroke her hair. She seems so strangely small and fragile like this - but that's a part of her, too. ]
