The Kiss - a♥r drabble

[angeltrisha9]

Bill was sitting by her bed when she woke.  Her admiral was tired, the lines of his face deeper than she had ever seen them.  His eyes, fixed on her face, were sadder than her heart could bear. "Bill," she rasped weakly. "You need to rest."

"I am."

He was stubborn.  She turned her hand and linked their fingers. "You need to sleep.

"I can't."

"Why not?"

ugh...kill me why doncha. That was lovely. The rack would remain htat way? really? Ouch! It so close to the end and he wants to be with her every moment. Loved it!

You are catching up on the drabbles aren't you?

[angeltrisha9]

Yes, well. It had to be mentionned. Sorry! Adn yes. I do believe he did. :)

And I had planned on it. Unless I shouldn't?

I meant yours not everybody else's...you seem to be in fine form. But there has been some nice work for some of these prompts so i would recommend then if you get a chance. I know sometimes i get so antsy to write my stuff i neglect the other authors. Bad me!

[angeltrisha9]

I did mean mine too. But I planned on both, really. I'm a batch reader. I read like a million in a row, flood people's mailbox then I'm silent for three or four weeks and then start the process all over again. Annoying really, as snl1 can attest to, but she's always kind enough to tell me which one I missed. :D

ç_ç "Rack's too big."

Bill left his hand on her heart, the weak beat of it lulling him to sleep this is lovely and beautiful ♥ and sad ;_; he's already missing her ♥

thanks for catching up =) i'm so happy!

[angeltrisha9]

*grins* I'm glad my catching up pleases you. And I really think he did. I love Bill!

A beautifully realised scene; warm, intimate and rich with all the tragic poignancy of their situation.

Wonderful. Thank you.

[angeltrisha9]

It's interesting that they can't have sweetness without pain, is it?

And thank you! :D

[angeltrisha9]

*g* Thanks dear!

Lovely scene, so sweet and heart breaking. I love them laughing away at the "rack's too big" idea. Hee hee!! They are so cute!! Wonderful and difficult end that came all too soon!!

[angeltrisha9]

Too true. For all of us. :( And I know about the rack, the fact that they both managed to fit in speaks of determination. *G* Thanks!
