I grabbed her in a hug, aware of the fragility of the bones under my hands, but unable to let her go. She had come so close to death, I couldn't bear to release her just yet. How had I never known how much she meant to me?
Finally, I forced myself to gentle my grip and move back. "How are you feeling?” I asked.
“Oh, fine. A bit drained is all,” she said. But I could see the pallor of her skin and the shadows under her dark eyes.

I put in a bit of emotional IM and took out the line about the herbal tea. In an emotional scene like this, no one cares about Sue.
