Yet, Grayson, the self righteous flirt with a nevet ending chain of wit, was really just broken. His best friend who he had, she hesitated to think, loved had died. That was enough to destroy anyone. It explained was he was such a... Well... You know.
Without even thinking twice she stepped forward and hugged him around the middle. Selina was short, like first year short, so it was the best she could do. She hugged him tightly and whispered, "I'm so sorry."
Grayson felt weak and less of himself. He knew he had exposed the deepest part of him and knew just how ugly things could get if Selina chose to tell anyone. He couldn't look at her.
Before Grayson could think of doing anything else he felt someone hugging him and heard Selina say 'sorry'. It was the warmest thing anyone could do. The best part was that she didn't mock him. She was smaller compared to him. He hugged her shoulders and whispered in her hair,
"Thanks."
