Todd just held her close. It didn't matter that the angle was uncomfortable or that he had to make sure he didn't fall on top of her. He hated when she cried. Todd stoked her hair and used his other arm to hold her close to him. He could feel her wet sobs in his shirt and he rocked them gently. Poor kid.
"Shh, its gonna be okay," He said gently. She felt like a child again to him. When he was adopted at age 10, she was only 2 years old. He watched her grow up, held her through all of it, and now felt just the same. An older brother holding his baby sister close because he couldn't ward off all the monsters. He couldn't be her knight in shining armor. Not all the time. Todd had made saving his business and he couldn't even save Scarlett.
