She got married this morning.
Lee felt like someone had punched him in the gut. All of the air suddenly left his lungs. It was all he could do not to double over in front of his father. The elder Adama had that big smile on his face, completely oblivious to the agony his son was in. Lee didn't think it was possible to have your heart removed, and yet still live.
He ventured a look at his father, and saw them walking through the camp. He slowly approached them, turning over in his head the things he wanted to do. He wanted to hit her, scream at her… demand that she kill him. For that is what she had done. He had offered her his heart, and she tossed it away like this morning's breakfast.
He forced a civil look as Sam related the morning's events. He managed to keep his grief from his face, but it was in his eyes. He could tell by the way she reacted to him. She could see what she had done, and he let her.
He walked away knowing he had lost her again. Not by the Cylons, and not by some stupid suicide mission, but by her own admission. He didn't just lose her, she left him. She left, and after the night they'd had, the things they'd said.
Fine. If that was the way she wanted it, then that was the way it would be. Kara Thrace obviously didn't need Lee Adama in her life, so why bother?
With a determined stride and a set jaw, he promptly walked up to Dee and asked her to marry him. He'd show Kara. He'd show her he didn't need her either.
But a voice in the back of his mind kept telling him that he did.
