[ Carmela nods quietly. She's still sad, still angry and upset, but she knows Andy's right. She wipes at her eyes again, then drags her fingers through her hair. ]
Ugh, I must look like a hot mess.
[ She sighs. Then pulls her knees up and hugs them to herself, feeling smaller than she's ever felt. Looking up at Andy, she asks, ] Can I stay here for a little bit? I don't want to go back out there just yet.
Of course. [ Moving her hand to the back of Carmela's head, gently cupping it, Andy leans forward and presses a soft, motherly kiss to her forehead. ] You can stay as long as you'd like, Carmela.
[ She pulls back to look at her again. ] Can I get you anything?
[ Andy will take it, although she'd much rather see a real smile on Carmela's face again. It breaks her heart when any of her kids are upset, but especially Carmela. ]
Okay. [ Andy offers a slight smile, though even hers doesn't feel terribly genuine as she's still fighting the urge to go kick Jaden's ass. ] You stay as long as you'd like.

No, I'm just gonna-- [ She takes a deep breath, forcing herself to blow it out slowly and calmly. ] Try to destress.
