“I have news,” he said plainly. “Stilgar found someone in the desert, remarkably alive, all things considered.”
She dared not to hope. Her mouth opened and closed but no word came out of it.
“An Atreides soldier, mom,” he swallowed. “Someone who knew of what happened in the complex and made it out.”
She slammed her eyes shut to stop the overflowing of tears – what useless thing it was, her current inability to control her emotions – she choked, “Oh.”
Her son looked into her eyes, a glimmer of… something.
Do not hope, she scolded herself. Hope is a fickle little thing and –
“Dad might be alive.”
