Quotation: "The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone." Harriet Beecher Stowe.

He died while he was holding her. She could feel his hair under her fingers, breathe his scent. But his blue eyes that meant everything to her remained closed.

She'd seen this coming.

A romanticist like him, he'd die protecting others one day. A pragmatist like her, she'd screw him up for good one day.

Screams. Tears. From Shal. From Brennan.

But not her. She knew the bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

So she held his body and whispered soft I-love-you's. She kissed him for the first time.

And the last.

Poor Jesse. He gets killed (or becomes critically injured) once in two drabbles of mine. ;)
