Summary
There was a tremble in Gerri's voice, the shining glint of tears covering her blue eyes. "I look at the baby and see my daughter, which means she isn't actually gone after all." Her breath hitched on an inhale, arms hugging around her middle, sadness so palpable that Roman felt it too, the splintering fragments of pain ripping Gerri open and laying her meek and bare.
"I know that there's nothing I can say or do to make this easier for you," he said slowly. It wasn't possible for him to stitch Gerri back together, he wasn't so foolish to believe otherwise. But maybe he could hold her upright, keep her safe and steady until the healing started on its own, the fragments fusing into the version of Gerri that would survive once the pain had faded and she could stand on her own again. "But I'd really like to hold you for a minute, if you're okay with that?"
Gerri's world is rocked by an unimaginable tragedy. Roman is there to see her through to the other side.
