A/N The mean diesel mentioning Eleanor triggered a type of flashback for Rowena the following morning.
The morning after meeting up with that bigger, mean diesel, Rowena had a nightmare. She woke up in tears. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Rowena's fitter found her in a dreadful state, her face tear-stained and wet with fresh tears, unable to speak due to her wailing sobs and sniffles.
"There, there, Rowena," he said, taking his cloth hanky and softly drying her tears. "Just cry and I shall wipe the tears from your eyes. You can rely on my empathy and compassion.". He gently rubbed her sodden cheeks and wiped her tear-filled eyes.
Rowena let out another wailing sob as she cried more. She sniffled again, hard, coughed as she choked on her tears and hiccupped. She gasped and gulped, shaking as she wept non-stop, huge tears pouring from her eyes as her fitter comforted her.
He said, as he continued to wipe her tears away, "I'm here for you, just to dry your eyes. Let it all out. You've got my support and comfort.". He held the hanky to her weeping eyes, letting her sob into it and wiped all her tears away as best he could.
Rowena's driver came and her fitter said, "You comfort her now, as I've got a soaked hanky. I think she had a nightmare, because she woke up in tears and can't stop crying."
Rowena's driver climbed on her buffers. "There, there, Rowena," he said, taking a cloth from his pocket and drying her tears. "Go ahead and cry. I sense you're dreadfully upset about your nightmare. It was just a dream, so you're fine. Let the tears out so you can feel better." He gently rubbed her cheeks and wiped her wet eyes.
Rowena's wailing sobs kept on and she sniffled loudly. She could only let her tears tell how much she hurt in her heart, but her driver, as he comforted her, knew.
He said, as he continued to wipe her tears away, "I wish I could wipe your sadness and hurt, so I shall wipe your eyes. You've got my empathy and support, until you feel better.". He pressed the cloth to her eyes, letting her sob into it and wiped all her tears away as best he could.
Rowena's tears poured out in a torrent until she could weep no more. Her driver dried her last tears away, patting any stray ones from her cheeks and dapping them from her eyes until they were dry. He refilled her radiator as she smiled, feeling better.
"Driver, before crying I hurt in my heart from a nightmare reliving Eleanor. That big, mean diesel triggered it. But I cried it all out, so I'm over that dreadful nightmare", Rowena said.
They got on with their day and Rowena was singing as she went along the rails Rowena met up with Rusty and talked. She told Rusty, "I had a dreadful nightmare this morning, but my fitter and driver dried my eyes. I love crying with someone there to dry my tears, because I get the comfort without the worst parts of crying."
Rusty replied, "if you ever cry to me, I've got a buffer press for you.".
Rowena replied, "Because I've got a soft heart, I just might. When something's wrong in my life, I can't hold back the tears typically. I just feel very deeply and since I'm not afraid of emotions, I'm not afraid to cry."
They finished talking and went on with their day.
A/N I have readers who like Hurt/Comfort, so respect that. Rowena's what my FanFiction buddy calls a baby engine, due to her recent build and her mind's that of a very young child, so like a child of 4, she cries a lot.
