"fi," elijah whispers, waking her with a soft kiss to her forehead. she must've fallen asleep.

"elijah?" she reaches out, shudders from his hand gliding across her arm. she sits up in bed, hugging him. "i miss you."

"i miss you, too."

"are you going to leave?"

"huh?" he asks, scooting closer to her. the blankets around her don't warm her up as much as he does.

"are you going to leave again? i don't want you to go," she whispers with watering eyes.

"i'm not going anywhere. i'll always be with you."

she opens her mouth to say something else, to make him promise her, but he's gone.

fiona wakes up with the crushing reality all over again.
