During the embrace Alex was speechless having been completely caught off guard by her reaction to his story. "No no it's ok" he said to Hadley when she apologized putting on a soft smile while a few silent tears coming down his face as he reached up to wipe them and re adjust his glasses. "Not bravery more like desperation. Fear of death makes you do crazy things." Alex said still managing to attempt to joke to try and make Hadley smile as turns out he didn't like seeing her so upset. "Guess the shock hasn't worn off but still pretty sure you've been through more hell than I have. Going by how you reacted to the housekeeper when she wanted us all to dress up." Alex said to Hadley this time a concerned look on his face. He had still been speaking only loud enough for Hadley to hear in case she wanted to keep this conversation private since he had wanted to keep his backstory more private.
