|

"but I need to make you happy too, and I'm trying my hardest"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I know you are and it's not your fault I just... I don't know.."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I'm here for you" she breathed
|
|  |
|
| |

|
Caden nodded, resting his head against her shoulder.
|
|  |

She rubbed his back, silently comforting--at least that's what she was trying to do

He was calmed by her actions, yet not convinced.
