She had computed all of this in a few seconds. Her continued path had
bought her to his arms, and she forced a smile onto her face. Her mind
still racing over possibilities.
"Trin, honey what's wrong? Wanna talk?" His voice sounded strained.
"No, I'm fine. It's just I'm exhausted, I swear you RSI is putting on weight." She forced a laugh and walked away. The familiar hallways of the Neb seemed solder than usual, as memories flooded through her mind. Memories of Neo's heart flat-lining when Smith pumped a clip into him. Seeing the bullet punch into his shoulder earlier today. Painful memories. She reached their room and pulled the door open. She walked slowly over the threshold and heard the door click as she pulled it closed. She strolled over to the economy-sized cot and pulled off her boots. She slid between the rough synthetic sheets.

The economy sized cot felt empty and cold without him. I was so used to falling asleep intertwined with his warm supple body. His chest against my back, slowly rising and falling. His arms around my chest. His warm breath tickling my neck and cheek. I tried to imagine what it would be like if I was alone.again. I didn't think I could cope. The fear of loosing him surfaced again form the place in my mind I had pushed it last time. I couldn't lose him; I needed him to be with me. Tears began to course slowly down my cheeks as I fought to regain my usually stoic composure.
A small sound made me look up. I heard a knock on the door.
"Trinity, are you OK? Can I come in?" Neo's voice filtered through the metal. The concern in his voice was apparent.
I quickly dried my eyes. The rough fabric making them sting. "Yeah, come in."
