"I've never wanted anything
The way that I want you"
~ Tested And True by Secondhand Serenade
She finds him in the mess sitting at the table. His head is in his hands and a cup of coffee - cold by now, she guesses - sits beside him, untouched.
Her heart aches for him, and not for the first time since the horrific events they'd faced on Miranda, she suddenly wants to tell him everything.
She wants to tell him that she wants him. She wants to tell him that she's never wanted anything the way she wants him. She wants to hold him and tell him it will be okay. It will.
She can't form the words on her lips. She can't talk.
She knows how he feels, how terribly scarred and broken he is, and she knows words won't fix it. They might help some, but they wouldn't be enough.
She places a hand on his shoulder and squeezes it gently.
He doesn't look up or flinch, but captures her hand in one of his and returns the gesture.
Silently, she tells him 'it'll be okay' and for a moment, she almost believes it.
