He always had that look; like he would break down and cry at any moment, and knowing that it would never help only made it that much worse; like a hurt, shivering kitten that couldn't find its way back home.

A/N
Since the original drafts on paper were color coded, I'll leave a little note under each word count that says either (blue) or (pink). The color indicates the PoV, but don't get it mixed up! Blue is from Marly's PoV and pink is Vexie's…
