A/N: Hello, all! :) The momentum that shattered through that wall of writer's block carried me further! Another kind of heavy one. It took a lot of noodling, but I'm actually really happy with how it turned out.
THANKS to Pink-Libra-Girl for reviewing! I'm really glad you find the inspirations interesting! I always love reading it when other writers include it, and it's great to know someone else is enjoying it. :)
Episode: None, but around the middle of season one. Honestly, though, you could have this happen anytime before Bionic Island.
Rating: K+
Warnings: Angst, nothing else.
Inspiration: I wanted to give Tasha some hobby she'd had before that she could keep in her new life, that the show never reveals to us. And, of course, once I came up with it, I thought that Adam should help her with it. Add those to a somewhat angsty mood, and this drabble appears. :)
Be the reason someone smiles today! :D
It had been a long day.
Tasha knew her kids' mission had been hard. They didn't say, but she sensed that they hadn't managed to save everyone. Heavy-hearted, Tasha went to her garden in search of peace.
A surprise awaited Tasha by her tools.
"Adam?"
A quick smile appeared under haunted eyes. "Hi."
Tasha lay a hand on his shoulder, concerned. "Are you alright, Adam?"
Adam slowly shook his head. "It was so close," he whispered. "Chase..."
Tasha winced at the implied close shave. But Adam needed distracting, so she held out a rake.
"Help me," she said, and he did.
