[Helen didn't exactly go looking for him- at least, not that she would admit to it. Yet there she was, outside his hospital room, thinking to herself and yet not knowing if she could go in. She might have been the most beautiful woman in the world once, but she had many flaws back then and now. Forgiving, being a mother, hell- being a good, proper wife; none of those were skills she had. It didn't bother her on a day-to-day basis, but she worried now.
Worried about that feeling in her stomach, that emptiness - raw fear at knowing she really was alone. That the only man who ever loved her, for her would leave. Helen hated that weakness; she hated herself and she hated Menelaus for it too.
Yet still she waited.]
