Standing on the concourse, he looked around, wondering if any of the people he hoped to see were there just yet. Family had been properly said goodbye to and and he was anxious to get back to his friends. It was as he looked and wanderd, though, that he heard it. It wasn't terribly noticeable. Just a sniffle here and there.. but he turned and saw Dot. Crying.

Head tilted, he approached tentatively. "Are you ok?"

Oh, a Thornton! Dot threw her arms around him and nestled her face against his shoulder. It was probably a little wet and warm, but not snotty because she was a lady. It was so nice to have a friend, even if she was in the process of being clingy and awful.

"I'm okay." She let him go and righted her dress and bag and hair and Merlin, was her mascara smudgy? Dot glanced at herself in the mirror and wiped under her eyes carefully. Not bad. The waterproof nonsense really worked! "Just thinking about leaving my Bubba again, and he keeps getting bigger without me. I hate it."
