More than a year.

Tara hears rain on the window pane and cries herself awake.

Tara eats breakfast and cries over a comedy.

Tara resolves to starve herself and goes to take a shower.

Tara cries in the shower, hates herself, decides to buck up and check her e-mail.

Tara cries over this:

Tare,
That took a ton of courage. I really respect and appreciate that. I don't foresee this causing any increase in awkwardness and hope (as you do I'm sure) that if anything it will prove a means for its abatement. As far as everything else goes, it sounds like you've put substantial thought and effort into mentally sorting this out and I trust you'll do what's right for you. If you need anything, or need anything from me I'd be more than willing to help.

Jay

Tara cries because there's nothing better to do than eat lunch, then cries over her humble meal.

Tara heads to work and cries when she realizes she forgot her gas light is on and she doesn't have time to stop and refill.

Tara wants to cry when she gets there and tensions are high and her trainee shirks her duty and people expect her to be responsible.

Tara almost cries while mopping but holds off knowing people are watching. She holds off while Vintage recounts her own heartache. She holds off while she talks to the girls at GoldenMetro.

Bow calls with bad news and Tara almost lets it go, but stays strong so he won't worry.

Tara wants to cry to Jay but knows it's impossible and unsafe. Tara resolves to stay strong but knows she will dream of him again tonight, and wake feeling worse tomorrow.

Tara cries.
