[ She wraps herself around him, arms tight, her face buried against his throat. She just holds him for a long moment and if there are tears, at least she can hide them against his shirt, even if that will be the least inconspicuous method ever. She can feel that tremble sweep through him and it just has her tightening her grip.
She thought she'd been through the hardest of these reunions by now. She hadn't anticipated this one, not after being here for several months now. Nowhere near as long as he'd been dealing with the grief, she's guessing. She lets him hold on as long as he needs to, clinging back just as tightly.
For once, she's not sure what she should say to fill the silence. So she doesn't. Not yet. Just holds on and soaks up the warmth of it, grateful for the chance to have this at all. ]
