"I'm so sorry," Daniel whispered into the darkness of his bedroom. Tear streamed from his eyes.
The silence only served to bring more sadness his way. In his wildest dreams, he would have never though he'd cry again over a woman. Yet here he was, alone and afraid.
"We were getting so close, Janet. I wanted to go further with you. I really did." He pulled out a little black box. "I was going to give you this after we returned from the mission, but-"
Daniel couldn't continue. His heart was broken. Another he loved was gone. Again, he had lost someone he cherished more than life itself.
He leaned, still in his formal attire, against the wall. I wanted to take him into my arms and tell him everything would be okay like I did when he was a small child. Though I couldn't, I would stay there with him as I had so many times before.
"I'm so sorry, Janet!" He let his head fall into his hands, and his shoulders shook violently.
"I'll tell her for you, Daniel." I know he can't hear me, but I make the verbal promise anyway.
"God, I wanted you, Janet. I believe we had all the time in the world."
A pang of remorse hit me. He wouldn't make it through this. Doctor Fraiser wasn't supposed to have died. She and Daniel were supposed to have a long life together in wedded bliss.
It was too late to save him. It was too late to save her. I could only hope someone with a kind and understanding heart would help him through this.
