Delphine
Delphine sighs at his offer to catch her, "You're always catching me, Remi." It was true, in more ways than one. She nods, though, even though she's not certain she'll ever be brave enough to jump, or would she be brave enough to admit that she needed help. But this was Remi.
Where he had changed outwards, becoming hardier, different, Delphine had twisted inwards, quiet, meek, forever searching for someone to tell her just what to do and how to do it.
His description of his daughter makes her smile, and she curls one arm around his back, in a loose hug. "I always thought I'd meet your children," Because for Delphine, there had never been a doubt in the world that her best friend would have a child. "I'm sorry, for not being here."

Let me make you smile, darling.
