A sad one today. For Memorial Day.
Vigil
May 28, 2012
Sam opened her eyes to find her parents standing vigil at her beside. Her parents and Danny's parents, and Tucker, and Tucker's parents. Everyone was there to welcome her back to consciousness.
Everyone except...
"Danny," she murmured. "Where's Danny?"
Wild amethyst eyes flickered from face to face. Everyone turned away, refused to meet her glance.
"Tu-Tucker...?" her voice wavered.
He stepped forward and grabbed her hand. His mouth worked silently for a few moments, then he looked up with tears in his eyes.
"No. No." Sam slowly shook her head back and forth. "No, no, no."
"Sam..." Tucker's voice cracked.
