What is the connotation of the word delicate as it is used in the passage? There was no turning back now. Josh had said what he had said, and it was out there now. He could see the tears well up in Kristyn's eyes once she had felt the full impact of his words. They were cruel but honest. However, Josh was still surprised by Kristyn's reaction. She was never this delicate. She was typically a very tough person; nothing ever bothered her: Kristyn choked back some tears and stared directly into Josh's eyes. Kristyn's eyes were fiery now; Josh was aware he was in trouble.
