I wish I knew the right words to say to comfort her, but without knowing what she’s so upset about, the only thing I can do is keep quiet until she’s ready to talk to me.

After a few moments, she pulls away and I grab another tissue for her. Seeing this helpless look on her face, all I want to do is hold and comfort her.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” I offer. “I hate that something has upset you, but I’m here for you.”

I give her a moment to compose herself, then reach up to push a strand of hair behind her ear. I use my fingers to caress the side of her cheek before dropping my hand down to my lap.

“Why does my life have to be so complicated?” She asks. “Where did I go wrong in my life to have such horrible things happen?”

“What’s going on Jennifer? Talk to me.” I persuade her to let me help her through this matter.

For the next half hour I listen to her retell everything her father shared with her. I’m at a loss for words and have trouble comprehending that someone could be this cruel and destructive. And the worst part is I can’t figure out how she got mixed up with such a jerk in the first place?

“I’m so sorry, Todd. I know we had plans to have dinner tonight but do you think we can do it another night? I just don’t think I’m up for eating anything right now.”

I’m a little disappointed, but I completely understand.

“I tell you what. Why don’t we just order in pizza?” I hope by making this suggestion, she will see that I really want to spend time with her tonight.

“You’re something else, you know that?”

We decide what kind of pizza and I go into the kitchen to place the order over the phone. In the meantime, Jennifer goes to the bedroom and changes into something more comfortable. I feel bad for not telling her how nice she looked tonight especially since she went through the trouble of curling her hair. I even noticed she had her nails polished too.

I fix us both something to drink and she joins me on the couch minutes later. I don’t want to pry and ask questions, but I am curious to know what has upset her.

I make small talk and briefly mention how my class load has lightened up tremendously. Most of my work has been turned in and I’m waiting on the grades to come through. I pushed myself so hard the first few weeks trying to get ahead by turning everything in early, I am now starting to relax and look forward to everything winding down. In fact, I have two classes that only require me to show up, then I’m free to leave. All of the requirements have been made for them, it’s just a waiting game. I still have to show up for the last class but the work is basically over.
