She expected him to come down on her, she was ready for it. She could have broken protocol and reached out, she should have even. Risked what she had to let him know she was alive. But..she'd been afraid. All she had she could lose and what would she be then? What would it have done to his career? Her being alive would only have caused havok with them both.
"Tom," Her voice is low and mournful, she shook her head. A step taken forward and another. If they were both who they'd used to be this would be easy, she could just wrap her arms around him and hold him. But they weren't kids anymore and they surely were not as free to act as they once were. She settled for looking at him and hoping the longing she felt wasn't betrayed in her voice or eyes.
"You were always so strong, you never gave up. That was why you made it out, made it here." And why she would always love him.
