Pairing: Liz/Brigadier
Liz felt as if her heart had been ripped from her chest. 'Is he all right?' she asked the voice on the other end of the telephone. 'What hospital?'
Liz grabbed her purse and keys. As she got in the car, she forced herself to stop and breathe. She always expected to get a call like this, but she anticipated the evils that would threaten to take her beloved Alistair from her would be more alien in nature. A mere human problem seemed incomprehensible.
'That man cannot leave me like this. A mere stroke will never defeat Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.'
