“I'm so sorry, Gale,” the woman's voice breaks as he reaches out to raise her quivering chin. She allows the touch, leans into it even, in hopes that it will allow them to share the burden of this mourning. She is silent for a time, with full knowledge that there are no words she can string together that will help heal the sadness that grips them both tight.
There's no escaping this type of anguish.
She concentrates on the warmth of the blue stallion as they embrace - she attempts to find comfort and solace in it, but still the sobs threaten to rise in her throat. She has not yet allowed herself the opportunity to grieve unbridled, not until now, and finally she allows a singular gasping sob to fall from her heaving chest as it presses against Gale.
His words, his kind words about the mother and relationship he must be grieving for, draw tears from her amber eyes and they spill generally across her opaline face.
“She would,” Oceane agrees through her tight throat, that Lepis would want to be remembered in that way. A slow sigh, accompanied by a hiccup, is pushed forcefully from Oceane's lips, and then, with another wave of grief: “She was my best friend.”
