I'm everything I am
because you loved me

H is for Hurt
She hadn't planned on walking in on them. It just happened.
It was late when she found them, both sound asleep. She had gone to the break room for something and saw them in a corner, both curled up on top of the sofa in the lounge area.
She knew she should wake them but something stopped her.
She didn't quite know what - maybe it's the way Tim's hand was resting on Eric's stomach that was inches away from Eric's own hand, as if they were about to clasp them together. Or maybe it was just the hint of a smile upon their lips.
She studied them as the scene hurt her; she wanted to run but she couldn't move – she was frozen where she stood.
There was only one thing Calleigh could think of as she stared at Eric's sleeping face.
Why did Tim choose you over me?
FIN.
