It kept turning into me looking across the place the entire night like, ‘Hmm, where is he?’ I feel that basically sucked, catching myself doing that. I feel it’s hard whenever you see someone for a second and it’s like fun and normal, but that’s only a dose of it, after which that’s done. That began to hit me.”
The “Hot Mess With Alix Earle” host admitted that she got emotional seeing Berrios, 30, while attempting to placed on a brave face.
“Sometimes you simply can’t help it. Sometimes you’re just a woman and sometimes water just falls out of your eyes. Sometimes that happens and that’s OK,” she said. “I did the responsible thing and called myself a automotive home and cried to my dog.”
