Spoilers: In The Shadow Of Two Gunmen and Evidence Of Things Not Seen (Second drabble.)
Rating: PG
Summary: They're drabbles.
Author's note: So, I've been reading drabbles lately. I succeeded with the first one. But, I just couldn't make it under 100 words in the second. If you take out the quotes, it's only 3 words over. Is that cheating? ; )
Feedback: Is the good kind of drug.
Disclaimers: I shamelessly stole quotes from EOTNS. So, they belong to Aaron. I don't really own anything, actually.
Hello, Goodbye
She sat waiting in the airport terminal. Waiting for him to get off the plane.
He had called. He had said he had big news. Exciting. "Not over the phone."
She knew what it was. He was coming back. A campaign is the same anywhere, right? And, she'd said she'd go back with him after school.
He was coming back. And this time she'd say "yes". She'd marry him. She wouldn't send him back alone, this time.
She saw him come through the door. He looked happy. But, oddly detached. From her.
He was getting married.
But, not to her.
The End
Faith
"I have faith in us."
That's what she'd said.
How could she have faith in anything?
They keep shooting at us. At her.
The first time Sam had pulled her down. Kept her safe. He could never know the depths of my gratitude.
This time I was there. Close enough to be more than a bystander, a spectator. Will had been there too.
"I thought my reflexes, before in the press room, were cat-like."
Which is her way of saying "thank you".
They keep shooting. And she keeps getting pulled down.
But then she gets right back up.
And now, I understand her faith.
I have faith in her. To keep getting to her feet. And to keep standing.
The End
