Excerpt: "It will be all right," Emma mumbled, pressing a kiss to Rachel's forehead, tasting sweat and life and all of those things that scared her about being dirty and unclean-- and not caring.

This is inappropriate involvement, Emma thought as she leaned down and wrapped her arms awkwardly around Rachel, who stiffened momentarily and then relaxed into the guidance counselor's grasp.

"It will be all right," Emma mumbled, pressing a kiss to Rachel's forehead, tasting sweat and life and all of those things that scared her about being dirty and unclean-- and not caring.
