Hurries, seeing evidence of unhappiness (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tears

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hurries' is the first definition.
(tear is a kind of hurry)

'evidence of unhappiness' is the second definition.

'seeing' is the link.

(Other definitions for tears that I've seen before include "Rips; drops" , "Signs of unhappiness" , "Rush special" , "Moves very quickly" , "Lacerations (before bedtime?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
