A trail of salty tears caressed River’s cheeks.

Simon.

She had lost Simon.

Commonsense told her that crying wouldn’t bring him back – and she knew deep down that it was true, that he was dead – but she couldn’t help it. Human nature was the stronger instinct to follow and it had taken a hold of her.

Logic had left her far behind.

Simon.

He was really gone.

Curling up in Kaylee’s arms, she sobbed into the mechanic’s shirt. Fabric bunched up in her fist, she held on to her only lifeline now that Simon was lost to her.

“He’s gone.”

Awww...sad. Why aren't you on MSN by the by.

Thanks.

I'm not on msn because it's not my day and I shouldn't be on at all. I open as few windows as possible so I can a quick getaway when someone arrives home.
