When she finally found him,
she saw him teetering between the light and the darkness.
Daniel sat on a cool metal
table in one of the supply rooms on the ship. Half in shadow, he remained
still, tight-lipped and stiff, as he stared ahead.
Soundlessly, she crossed the
floor and hopped onto the metal table to sit next to him. He didn't say a word.
He didn't move. He didn't even turn to acknowledge her. He just continued to
stare into the dead air, his face as hard as stone.
But there was a flickering
in his eyes, the only movement that reassured her that he was real. It was
through this nearly imperceptible flash – this small window – that she could
see through him, into him.
The war that waged in his
eyes wasn't just the accumulation of stress and the terrible choices he had
been faced with today. They also held an amalgamation of years of conflict;
battles that not only had worn him physically, but also battles that had
changed him, shaped him, and threatened to tear apart his soul.
Sam was no stranger to this
war. No soldier was.
Quietly, she leaned into
him, resting her head on his shoulder, allowing him the solace of silence and
the support of her warmth.
It was only then that he
bowed his head and let it go.
