“Oceanic 815 crashed-”
The clinking of ice manages to rise above the dull roar of a reporter's voice. Margo wets her lips with the whiskey (Christian's favorite), mutes the television with a delicate finger, and just stares, plane wreckage reflecting in her eyes; imprints of what she's lost.
Jack, please. You know how he gets. You have to go after him.
Words spoken in anger, lathered in guilt, pound a horrifying rhythm inside her skull.
You don't get to say I can't. Not after what you did.
She sets the glass back on the table (forgets the coaster) and yields to a tear.
Bring your father home, Jack.
