(As he lowered his head near hers, she brought her hand up to rest against his cheek, her sliding her hand back until her fingers curled around the nape of his neck, keeping him close to her. For a long while she let the tears go because she was incapable of stopping it.. it was like losing Keegan all over again, the raw hurt in her stomach and the desperate heat in her throat. But this time, unlike before, she had someone with her.. not some anonymous marine showing up with a note.. no, she had Braden, and he wasn't dead.. he was there, warm and safe and holding her.. and it was too much. He'd hurt himself so badly saving her.. and then had gone back in for so long that she'd started to panic.. and she was so worried that there would come a time when she would get the anonymous note about him as well. Only this time.. when it happened.. she would lose it.. they would have to knock her out and let her die.. because she couldn't live through that. When the sobs finally faded into sniffles and hiccups, she pulled back a little, bringing her hands up to run them over his face, reassuring herself that he was there. Her voice was soft, a little hoarse and shaky.) I lost you.. (She said simply, knowing that he would know exactly what she had been dreaming.. the had been through a lot together and it would have been a miracle if she hadn't had nightmares about it.)
