[Martin shrieks and runs out of the room when the glass hits the wall, and Vesper straightens immediately in her seat, staring at him with wide, startled eyes. She's scared at first, but only for the split second before he starts talking. He's angry, but it's coming from a place she really is all too familiar with, even if it's not quite the same, and she can't help but sympathize, more deeply than she'd ever thought she would with him.
But therein lies the issue, really, because she doesn't want to talk about her own experiences. Every instinct is telling her to run, not because she's afraid of him, but because she doesn't want to confront what happened to her. She never has, probably never will, and she wants to leave before he expects her to say anything.
Except he's crying. She can tell he is, even if he's ashamed of himself for doing it, and something keeps her from bolting. She doesn't know what it is- she hates crying, hates seeing other people cry, but she doesn't want to just leave him.
So she hesitates, and finally pushes herself to her feet, cautious and hesitant and really not sure what she's doing.] James-
[She's not sure why she does it, but she finally closes the distance between them and puts her arms around him in a tight hug. She doesn't say anything, because she doesn't know what she could say. But this feels like the right thing to do.]
