Tears

She didn't care that people were watching.

She didn't care that people were bound to talk.

She didn't even care that she was breaking her uncle's unspoken rule of PDAs at the office.

All she cared about was that Kate was dead.

The arms wrapped around her tightened as she tried to burrow further into her uncle's shoulder, wishing that he really could return her world to right.

“I'll find him,” he whispered into her hair as a watery sob escaped her throat. “I'll find him and make him pay for daring to take her away.”

Willow didn't have the energy to try and figure out why that comforted her so much. It shouldn't, but it did.

Because she knew he wouldn't rest until he succeeded.
