This one is from @warp6‘s “Someone comforts Admiral Janeway about something.”
He came up behind her silently under that most perfect, peaceful tree and placed a
hand on her shoulder. Her white hair brushed
against his dark flesh. Both sets of eyes fell down to the freshly tilled earth.“I never took the time to tell you,” she said, hands clasped
at her waist. “I always thought I’d tell
you….”The once dark-haired man nodded. “You told me,” he said. “In so many ways.”
‘I miss you,’ she
thought, bending down to the ground. ‘And I’m angry that you left me.’He wrapped his strong arms around her. “I am always with you. I’ll never leave. You must understand, I can’t.”
She gazed briefly up to the sky, a chill blew through
the grayness but she felt warm and didn’t understand why.Tentatively, she touched the cold stone and watched as her own tears
filled the circular engraving.“I will fix this,” she vowed. “I will find a way.”
Love this.
