Remembering the Dance

It was January 21 again. Jack sat at his desk, single malt in his glass, as he stared at a toy airplane. He had loved and lost before, but seldom so intensely, seldom so briefly. Seldom so painfully.

Tosh came in, closing the door behind her. "Jack? May I sit with you?" She put her hand over his, moving close beside him. "I was remembering that night."

"Kiss the boys good-bye," said Jack sadly. "We had... we had a dance and a kiss. Many have less. We might never have met."

"He loved you."

Tosh held Jack while he wept.

Lovely. Your drabbles always make me sigh a bit.

Your drabbles always make me sigh a bit.

This is a good thing, right? I hope? [g] I like to take a romantic angle.

Poor Jack. :-( Yet what a privilege to hold him while he weeps, yes?


(psst... the pairing should read Jack/Jack)

Oh, yes. I should write this from Tosh's point of view, too.

Uh... thanks for the fix on the pairing. (Blush!)
