The surprise is unexpected, and Adia dwells on it while waiting patiently for Amelia to gather her thoughts. Is it really that unusual for anyone to show this woman kindness? No wonder she's taking losing Steve so hard. He would never have left her otherwise.
When Amelia finally meets her gaze, she smiles softly and offers a hand. it's up to Amelia if she wants to take it, and she won't be offended if she doesn't. "You just need more experience. It doesn't come easily for anyone at first. And I don't think anyone knows what to do when they're grieving, either. I've been around loss for so long, and the only two things that I've learned is that it takes time to heal, and it's different for everybody."
