I Cannot Help

Perry had never felt as helpless as it did in that moment. Seeing Larry be vaguely upset was nothing compared to seeing Noelle cry. 

It wanted to help. Truly help. Not offer useless words of comfort. But what other actions could it take? 

Perry could not hug her or bring her tea or give her the romance she desired. It could not even join her in the activities she participated in with her friends. It would never be in one of those Instagram pictures smiling with her. 

Noelle had posted several pictures from Becca's wedding. One was taken solely with the bride and the rest consisted of various shots of her friends, including some video clips of them dancing. 

Perry could not dance with her. It could not dance period. It did not have the ability to do so without a body.
