OOC here!
Hadley watched Selene sink to the ground. Small tears leaked from her eyes. His heart jumped, not wanting to be the cause of that. He was still frightened though. If he moved he might fall apart. Hadley was unprepared for the words she gave him, unable to feel anything even close to those tender feelings. He barely felt safe at times, let alone secure enough to allow him to feel something so complex. Whoever said love could happen at any time obviously hadn't faced such a scarred soul, one pushed beyond the boundaries that would normally hold those emotions. Slowly Hadley was being drawn back, but this was too fast. Instead he was tangled, frozen where he was.
Her apologies were meaningless. She hadn't done anything wrong. At least, not that Hadley was aware of. Needing to stop her pain Hadley reached out a hand shakily before touching her arm. He looked up, trying to meet her gaze. Don't say that. It wasn't much, just a couple words, but they held a lot of meaning. Hadley didn't speak often, trying to avoid punishment. Because of that every word was weighed carefully, trying to make sure it had the impact intended. This handful tried to reach Selene, falling just short, telling her that he didn't like seeing her sad, that she had nothing to apologize for.
