Three little words
For ar_drabbles challenge 38: light.
Because yesterday I was feeling all romantic and happy about the Holiday of Lights, but since then my whole country's been reminded that fire can give light, but it also can bring death.
Fires lit the night, humans and Cylons huddled together not for warmth but to keep the monsters at bay.
Bill and Laura sat in the dark, huddled around their own failures. The last time they had sat together under a tarp had been the start of a partnership; this felt like the end.
On Kobol, Bill's smile had lit the gloom. On Kobol she had seen his shattered body revitalized. Now he sat impassive, his torn hand a reminder of all their losses.
Now, more than ever, she needed to hear him say those three little words.
I forgive you.
