The Legend (2015)
“Reed hugs Alex warmly, which gives him an excuse to hug Brooke too. I notice how he buries his face in her neck, rubbing her back, and I smile sadly. Alex says goodbye quite unconcernedly, and I make sure to treat him exactly as I usually would. There is no point in trying to mollycoddle him or to treat him with kid gloves. As much as I need him to know that I love him, I also do not want him mistaking my empathy for weakness. He needs to know that I mean business.
