He tears the photograph in two, and two again,and lets the pieces flutter from his fingers into the wind. The picture is gone, and so is Claudia. Just like Stephen. Erased from existance, forever.

Jenny's standing there in her dark suit. "Coming?"

He has to give in, give up, give way. He can't cling to the past any more, or it will drag him down with it.

So he nods, and follows Jenny.

"Why didn't you tell me about her?" she asks.

"I tried," he says. "Months ago. Remember?"

"Try again. This time, I'll listen."

Lovely drabble. Both positive and angsty ...

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Blimey, that was quick! :-)

Thanks. It's a drabble of desperation, as I haven't been able to write much today - got sort of distracted early in the afternoon, and never fell back on track!

A lovely missing-scene piece. :)

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-) I'm not that great at drabbles, so I'm always rather pleased when I manage to produce one.

[fredbassett]

That's fabulous :)

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-) I haven't written a drabble in ages, so I was quite pleased with this.

Oh - the angst! Brilliant!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I haven't beaten Cutter with the angst stick much lately, so my sudden inspiration for this prompt was timely ;-)

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is so wonderful. It adds so much to an already heartbreaking scene.

Sad, but hopeful at the same time :)

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-) I do like a bit of hope with my angst!

So sweet!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-) It was thought up quite quickly, so I'm pleased at how well it seems to have worked.

Aaawww. Yes, please listen, Jenny. Maybe there's still hope for you two.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thank you ;-) Yes, this time, she must listen!
