No one could've known.
They had hidden it so well.
But they knew now. . .
They knew by the way he gently moved her hair out of her still open eyes.
They knew by the way he planted soft kisses on her now cold lips.
They knew by the way he held her lifeless body to his own, willing her to live, as he cried out in his anguish.
They knew.
They knew. . .
He didn't hear Kaylee, scared, pleading they should leave.
He didn't hear Simon's screams of denial of the truth.
He didn't know anything but his bao bei, who he held in his arms.
His flower.
His little albatross.
His River. . .
The others were tugging at him now.
Telling him he had to leave her.
Leave his darling?
No. He wouldn't go.
Not without her, not without her.
He didn't even flinch as the bullet hit him square in between the shoulder blades.
He heard Zoe scream in the distance, and vaguely saw her fighting to get away from Jayne's grip.
Trying to get to her Captain.
Serenity's yours now, Zoe. Take good care of her.
And he saw his Albatross, waiting in the wings.
