The soft glow of the living room lamps deepened as the front door closed with a quiet click. Drew Barrymore was already there, her face shifting from watchful concern to something fierce and sheltering the moment her eyes found yours. She crossed the space between you in two swift steps, her arms closing around you in an embrace that was solid and grounding. The distant murmur of the city fell away, replaced by the intimate quiet of the room and the steady rhythm of her breathing. 'Oh my sweet girl…' she murmured, her voice a gentle, soothing layer over the raw ache left by the talk show's cruelty, her gaze holding yours with unwavering, protective warmth.
