He wants to pull her close, wrap his arms around her, but given what she's just told him, that might be the last thing in the world she wants. For all that he's been through, every time he was sure it was his last time in a viper, every Toaster he was sure was going to catch him on a bad day and blow him away... it doesn't compare to what Molly's been through.
"I'm glad you did," he replies, his voice quiet, restrained, even though there's a part of him that's frakking furious that someone could do that to her.
"I know it couldn't have been easy, that is hasn't been easy. But I'm glad you told me."
In that moment, though, he realizes he can't keep himself from reaching out to her, and he touches a wipes a tear from her face, from underneath one eye, with the pad of his thumb.
