Feedback: Yes, please.
Their lips parted and she opened her eyes to look into his. "Please, don't go."
He didn't answer. He just continued to stare at the pleading blue sapphires he loved so much. This wasn't like her, they both knew, but she was allowed this one moment of vulnerability.
"Jack—" she was silenced by his thumb caressing her lips.
They both knew he had to leave no matter how much they wished more time could be spent together. The warm embrace brought more tears to both pairs of eyes as he whispered, "I love you, Sam."
"God, Jack, don't do this!"
He pulled back and gazed at her with dark brown eyes. His hands cupped her face, and he drew closer, planting another kiss on her beautiful lips. Giving her his dog tags, he told her, "I will always love you."
Sadness. The emotion could only be described as sadness as she watched him walk through the door to his certain death.
She ran from there just as he had told her to. At the Stargate she turned around to see the explosion. Tears flowed freely as she regarded the scene. "I love you, too, Jack."
Somehow, she knew he'd heard.
