The large expanse of water stretched out in front of Sha're as she stood in the soft cool sand water lapping over her bare feet. The trip to the beach had been Cassie's idea, a day away for them all to just relax and not have to think about the state of the galaxy. Especially as she was heading to college in a few weeks she'd wanted her family together for a fun day out. Sha're knew they'd all expected her to gasp in amazement at the large expanse of water but she couldn't feel the awe it should inspire within her.
Sha're glanced over to where Jack was setting up a fire to cook the food they'd brought with them, Teal'c was meditating under the large shade Janet had called a parasol while Janet and Sam were pulling strange items out of the bags they'd brought. Finally Cassie was with Daniel bringing the cooler filled with drinks from the car.
Turning back to the ocean Sha're wondered how easy it would be to walk into it and let the water simply swallow her so she didn't have to feel like this anymore.
Sha're sighed as Daniel's arms slid around her, feeling the warmth of his chest press against her back.
"What are you thinking about?" he whispered softly in her ear.
Sha're winced, knowing she could never hurt him in that way she tilted her head round and forced herself to smile.
"I was thinking that I would never have imagined anything like this when I was a child."
As Daniel kissed her warmth spread through Sha're. She wished she felt like this when out of his embrace but all Sha're felt when Daniel wasn't with her was numb.
