"Ssh, it doesn't matter."
Her heart broke at the pain she saw in his eyes.
"You can't save them all."
She wrapped her arms around his waist, and pulled
him close. Pressed against him, his harsh breaths trembled through her, and his
heartbeat thundered under her ear.
"It was her all over again."
Lana drew him closer still, and his hands fisted in
her hair. It was only with her he let his guard down. No trace of the cool
surgeon remained.
"I am so sorry, my love. You don't need to hear
this, not today of all days."
He rested his forehead on hers, and they clung
together, united in their grief.
His tears mingled with hers, until she stood on
tiptoes to kiss him. He groaned, deepening the kiss, as passion flared between
them. When he pulled away, the loss of his warmth sent a shiver down her spine.
He traced his thumb over her kiss swollen lips, and smiled, before he turned
her around to face the head stone.
Miri's smiling face greeted them. Taken on the day
she died, their daughter blew out the candles on her cake.
"Happy Birthday, Miri. We miss you so much."
