Sloane's body began to shake beneath her but Sisse held on, hearing the telltale sign of tears. "Sssh. It's alright. There's no reason to be sorry." Sisse told her friend, not loosening the hug. Honestly the physical contact with Sloane had been something she had missed since that awful afternoon. Now with Alice no longer there Sisse realized that there were very few people she could hug anymore. It was weird, but in a way just holding Sloane like this felt like a way it was healing her own friendship with her dormmate. Because looking back Sisse could see just how foolish she had been as well. Now it had not just been Sloane's fault but her own too. Everyone was entitled to their own secrets, their own shames, their own sadnesses. "Don't be sorry." Sisse murmured again.
