Jane stood frozen in the doorway for a moment before walking towards him numbly. "Why didn't you say anything sooner?" she demanded quietly, helping him up.

Tessa stood to the side uncomfortably, feeling a natural protectiveness towards Nic and yet not wanting to involve herself in any more turmoil.
