She gave an unintentionally loud sniffle, Jacob giving a little bit of a whine because his mother was upset but other than that, he was still being Jacob.

Finally, she used her sleeve to mop up a few tears before they came anew. Damn it, she didn't want to cry in front of the man! But there she was, wiping her face with her free hand.

Looking down, she thought maybe if he hadn't heard her sniffle, she might be able to sneak past undetected.
