Re: Movie night
I hold her tighter "Anna, a burden shared is a burden halved, let me help you carry your burden, also, think, would you rather break and fall alone, or have someone who cares for you hold you and take care of you as you rely on me".
I caress her hair then softly brush her outer cheek as we are still hugging.

Re: Movie night
Anna's pov:
Jarrod keeps encouraging me to let go. I realize that if William did this maybe we'd have gotten through this trauma by now and William wouldn't be finding the need to evade especially with other women.
Before I knew it, before I could even say anything I notice the tears that were burning behind my eyes had filled them to the brim and were now steadily flowing out of my eyes and onto and over Jarrod's shoulder.

Re: Movie night
Not a minute had I stopped talking, I felt tears like rain falling on my shoulder, I held her tight for as long as she needed, she did need to release the pressure valve, I just held her in my arms and caressed her hair...

Re: Movie night
Anna's pov:
Jarrod said no more as tears continued to fall from my eyes. He just held me tight and caressed my hair. I guess that's exactly what I needed. I finally needed my feelings to be acknowledged and validated. Something William was avoiding; presumably so he didn't break as well.
As Jarrod was delicately caressing my hair I finally let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding in. When I did a quiet sob escaped my throat. I didn't try to stop it. And with that a few more quiet sobs escaped as well.
Jarrod never let go, nor did he have anything negative to say. He was just letting me finally feel.

Re: Movie night
I felt Anna finally let go, I don't remember seeing her sob, I had seen her cry before but not sob. I kept holding her "Thank you for trusting me, I'll hold you until you are ready, there is no shame in crying, everybody cries every now and then. Tears are nothing to be embarrassed about, feel free to let them run down your cheeks".

Re: Movie night
Anna's pov:
At that point Jarrod just kept thanking me for putting my trust in him to cry. He also told me there was no shame in crying. He didn't want me to be embarrassed. That just made me cry harder but this time I was crying tears of love and acceptance.
After what felt like forever my tears finally started to slow down. They never completely stopped, though. When I was semi composed I took a deep breath and spoke. "Thank you for being so comforting. I guess that's exactly what I needed. Now I hope I'm not keeping you from anything. I mean I know you're supposed to be meeting your brother later but it's still early. I hope I'm not keeping you from whatever you were going to do before that." I said finally breaking the hug, but not before a few more stray tears slipped from my eyes.

Re: Movie night
When I encouraged her she let her defenses down and started crying harder for several minutes. Eventually her tears slowed down, when she felt a bit composed she broke the hug. Her tears fell from all over her face in several streaks, I remember last time I saw her cry she had a Hollywood single streak, a couple at most.
Since I was alone with her, I felt I needed to comfort her, so I slowly and cautiously, brought my hands to her cheeks, not knowing if she would allow me to wipe her tears...

Re: Movie night
Anna's pov:
I could't believe when I saw Jarrod bringing his hands up to my cheeks. I wassn't sure what to think; that is until I felt Jarrod's thumbs brush across the tear streaks just under my eyes following them down my face and over my cheeks finally stopping at my chin and thumbing away the last of my still falling tears. My breath was immediately taken away.
It seemed as if Jarrod was hesitating a !little bit to wipe my tears a second time although it looked like he was contemplating it. I guess he wasn't sure if I liked it or not or if he was being too forward. I completely understood as I was his brother's wife. But without hesitation I grabbed his hand in mine and placed it back on my face just under my eye helping him trace another streak down my face and over my cheeks this time with the pads of his fingers.
I hoped I was giving him the confidence to continue wiping my tears until my face was clear. I mean I really didn't want William to see me with tears still lingering on my face when he got back or he'd ask what was wrong and I didn't really feel like explaining.

Re: Movie night
Surprisingly Anna did not put resistance, this is the first time I wipe her tears, I placed my thumbs under her eyes and brushed them lightly across her cheeks until I reach her tears. I hesitated to continue doing so, I don't know if I was too straightforward, if I was to intrusive. These thoughts disappeared when I felt her hand grabbing mine bringing it back to her cheek, tracing another tear streak all the way to her tear, this time with my fingers. That gave me the confidence to continue wiping her tears, I placed both hands on her cheeks, wiping them from the inner corner of her cheeks to the outer corner, then, with the back of my fingers I swiped from under her eyes across her chin all the way down her neck until there was not a single trace of tears on her cheeks.
I ask Anna for a moment, I have to contact Will, I send him a message, he suddenly decided to see me before lunch. I tell Anna that Camilla is downstairs, I have to go meet William and, hopefully bring him back to his senses. Anna...

Re: Movie night
Blushes slightly then thanked me for being so kind and comforting during her time of sorrow.
Anna's pov:
I felt Jarrod's confidence increase after I helped him wipe some of my tears. He then placed both of his hands on my cheeks and wiped just below my eyes. Then he used the backs of his fingers to wipe the rest of my face clear of tears from just under my eyes, to my chin and even down my neck. He didn't stop until there wasn't even the faintest reminder I had cried. With that I blushed slightly then thanked him for being so kind and comforting me during my time of sorrow.
Jarrod then pulled away. He told me he had to contact his brother's to see where he wanted to meet. After only a min he told me his brother asked if they could see each other before lunch time. That and the fact that he told me he had Camilla waiting for him in the car gave me the subtle hint that he needed to leave.
Realizing how long Jarrod had be in the house comforting me and the fact that he had Camilla waiting in the car showed me just how lucky I was. I felt an overwhelming sense of caring that I hadn't felt in a long time and that made my eyes start to well with tears again. This time I refused to let them fall knowing Jarrod had to go.
We said our goodbye's and Jarrod walked out the door and to his car.
