Title: Lifeline
And the Condom Goes To: Brian
Every Friday morning at 11:00, there was a knock on Daphne’s door.
She always greeted him with a hug and a smile, especially on the days when one glance told her that Brian’s side-effects to the radiation hadn’t improved.
Sometimes the words flowed like a river that flooded its banks, and they would laugh together and only cry a little.
Sometimes he would say nothing, just sit there, eyes worried and lost, letting her hold his hand while he chain-smoked.
She never offered him false hope because that’s not what he wanted.
Justin was fucking scared.
Daphne was his lifeline. |
