aruna7.
He finds her out on the balcony, her hair thrown back in the wind. Her hands both clutch the railing, supporting her and there's a vacant expression on her face, as if she's worlds away. It's an expression he's seen her wear many times before.
He joins her, doesn't say a word. He knows she doesn't like to be interrupted at times like these. Rather, he rests his arms on the railing beside her and gazes out to the horizon.
A blend of red and orange and purple paints the sky. It's beautiful and almost haunting and it reminds he that there is more to life than the struggle against the Wraith that he faces daily and the other troubles he endures.
There is good in the universe. There is peace, no matter how hard it is to come by. There is hope. There is love.
He smiles and glances at his companion. She too is smiling softly now. Her eyes, not quite green and not quite hazel, glimmer with unspoken emotion that he can almost feel. When her eyes meet his he knows immediately that she feels it too. She feels everything that he's been experiencing over the past few minutes.
He needs to say something, to put what he feels into words, and decides to break the silence. It feels right to do so.
"I think I know why you like it so much out here," he says.
Her smile widens and her entire face seems to light up. Turning slowly, she looks back out at the sunset. "It makes me believe that a happy ending just might be possible," she says simply.
He knows exactly what she means.
