@viciouslostones (bella) asked: [ sobs ] sender sobs uncontrollably while receiver holds them (hello & thank you!)
Arms instinctively wrap around the girl as she all but flings herself at Esme. Whatever she tries to get out is lost amongst sobs and, even with vampiric hearing, Esme can't make out a word of it.
Instead she holds Bella to her. The girl is weightless in her arms.
"Hey, Bella, hey..." She whispers against the brunette's ear, "what's wrong?" If Esme is going to be able to help then she has to be able to know. "Come on, darling, it's alright. I've got you." One hand habitually rubs circles across Bella's back, patting her every now and then— almost akin to a baby being burped, but not Esme's intention. "Shall we try and breathe together?"
