Days since seen O-Ren: 3 (two was cause for concern. v.b.); No. of times thought Dickie might say ‘mama’: 3 (though ‘maaaaaaa’ followed by a laugh may just have been coincidence, as baby book says that 4 months is far too early); No. of times looked up at door of hut to see if O-Ren would be walking in: 347 (v.b.); Head state: v.b. Bloody fucking

Tim had been looking for Bridget all day. If it weren't for the fact that her room was just a bit of mess as usual, he would have been really worried. He'd busied himself with other things, found Jim and Pam, watched some Godzilla on the Canadian bloke's tv, but he kept on going over to Bridget's room to check if she was around.

By the end of the day, he wasn't even bothering to knock. He just opened the door, poked his head in,sighed, and walked away. Until he poked his head in and saw a sleeping Dixon and a disconsolate Bridget.

"...Bridge?" he ventured, concerned, not wanting to intrude but wanting very badly to walk straight across the room and hold her.

Bridget sat up, startled at Tim's voice. She wiped at her eyes, although the fact that they were red and slightly puffy had probably already given away that she'd been crying.

"Tim...hullo," She said, in between rather unattractive sniffles.

Since she hadn't said Fuck off I'm busy, he stepped in, closed the door behind him, and went immediately to sit beside her, reaching out to cup her face, abort that gesture, and slide his fingers along her neck and down until he was lightly holding her shoulder.

"Bridget, what's wrong?"

It was always easier to keep oneself from crying like an idiot when people weren't concerned about it. But as it was, she couldn't help it when she started crying again.

To be perfectly honest, Bridget had been close to saying just that. Well, in a way that was a lot less rude, but that conveyed almost the same sentiment. What was the bloody point of it all anyway, if next thing she knew, the same thing would happen to Tim that had happened to nearly everyone else? So if she pulled away a little, it probably wasn't completely on reflex.

"I'm alright."

An obvious lie.
