He cries until there's nothing left but trembling and the feeling there's still wracking sobs trapped in his chest that simply won't leave. They never fully do...they just wait and build again for the next time Chris Sonom falls apart. This time, at least, he has his Wolfe to remind him of his own shape again.

Eventually, Chris takes a shaky breath and turns his face to wipe away the tears and clean them both of his wet emotions. When he looks back, there's still vulnerability in his expression and a touch of fear in his eyes...but there's hope too. Hope that they can actually come back from this. That there is a way forward, even if he's not entirely sure of the right steps still.

He leans in to press a simple kiss to the corner of Wolfe's lips. "Thank you...I don't...want you to let go. I'm just...not sure what to do next. I just know I want to do it with you...at your side. I want to do right by you. I want...I want to make sure you know how much I love you."
