"I'm glad you're back." I want to protest, or yell, or do something, say something, but what the hell can I do now that it's all over? It's not like I have much experience with anything like this. The hardest thing I've had to comfort someone through was when Jess's parents got divorced, and that seems so easy now compared to some of the weird and terrible shit I've seen and heard about here.
At least I can wrap my arm around Derek and rest my head on his shoulder, letting him know I'm here and doing the best I can.
"Get some sleep," I tell him, watching as Jinx curls up in his lap, happier than I've seen her in a week. "And I'll go get the rest of Jinx's stuff and pick up some take out."
