Etched in His Heart

(The First Day in Egypt pt 2)

Daniel takes the card key for their room and swipes it. The door making a clicking noise, signaling that the door infact unlocked. Daniel opens the door and places the card key in his pants pocket. "After you" he says letting Tiffany in first. "Such a gentleman" she jokes, only, she wasn't completely sure she was joking.

Both of them go into their seperate rooms in their suite. Tiffany puts her backpack on a shelf in her closet and sets her suitcase on the bed. She opens the front pocket to take out the picture of herself, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c and her Father and put it on the table next to her bed. She reaches in for the picture, but instead she feels a piece of paper. She pulls it out.

'Tiffany' was written in cursive on a yellow envelope. She examines he envelope, slightly confused and realizes it was her father's handwriting on the envelope. She sits on the bed and begins opening the enveloped. Jack had taped it shut. She accidently rips the envelope and slightly rips the lined piece of paper inside. "Shoot" she scolds herself in her head.

She continues to carefully open it. Once it's open enough for her to pull out the piece of paper, she does so. She makes herself a little more comfortable and begins to read.

Tiffany,

I hope you are enjoying your time in Egypt, doing... whatever

you two were planning on doing. Looking at old pyramids, digging

up old stuff that sort of thing.

I Miss You

Jack

Tiffany Smiles, she knew what he was attempting to do. When she was younger, and she would go somewhere with a friend overnight, he would write her secret letters that always made her feel better if she ever got scared. He taught her to be the brave, tough woman she was.

He was, however out of practice. Ever since the death of Charlie, Jack had stopped putting secret letters in her suitcases when she went places. Half because she rarely ever went anywhere. She always wanted to be there for him. When she did go places, he was always there. Hell, they even work together.

But, that wasn't such a surprise, she had always wanted to be in the Air Force. Following in his shoes. This was the first time in a long long time that she left him alone in the house for a long period of time. Which made her wonder how he was dealing with the fact that she wasn't there.

Daniel walks to her door and knocks. "Come on in" she says folding up the piece of paper and putting it back into the ripped envelope "Hey, you wanna walk the hotel? See what there is here?" he asks leaning in the doorway. "Um, yeah let me just finish up here and we can go" "ok," he says and walks away. She places the envelope back in the front pocket of the suitcase and pulls out the picture she wanted to pull out in the first place. She places it on the table next to her bed and puts all of her clothes in the provided dresser.

A/N: again SOOOOOOOOO sorry. i hope you liked it even though it's smaller. I have been so busy and i really am trying to work on it whenever i can.
