Things went like expected. Even the part where Emily encouraged Rachel to finish. Their parents death had been hard on both of them. And to know the person who accidentally was the cause of their crash that didn't help matters at all. Nox as usual had tried to make retribution, which is how Emily found him. And how Rachel met him to begin with. It was through Nox's act that he even met Rachel. It was good. He liked her, but he hated that they probably wouldn't be more than passing acquaintances. Not that Nox was even remotely close to Cruz any. Mostly on him, he was sure. Nox was usually well liked by everyone, and Cruz not so much. That whole rich boy thing always put people off -- except those who were the same -- which Rachel was. They understood each other in ways that no one else could.
Cruz almost went up there to comfort her, but Emily was on the job, but Cruz hadn't hesitated once he saw the tears start, he was waiting for Rachel at the end of their table waiting for all the festivities to end so they could dance. He didn't have much to say or much to comfort her with, his parents were now divorced its own sort of new hell, but they were alive. And well and completely there for him even if he didn't want them to be.
"Can I have that dance?"
