It is, by all accounts, brief. Derrica burns through the worst of it quickly, or fights herself back to something in the vicinity of composure speedily. She doesn't pull away though, as the tears ebb.
"I'm sorry," is muffled too.
Sorry for crying on him, sorry for bringing him this news, sorry for barging into his room. There's a lot of contrition to go around.
