Abi groaned in intense pain and felt her entire world sear in red hot agony as the nightmare ended. It should have ended there but all she felt was the same pain, the same darkness tugging. Her body was broken irreparably, beyond recognition or hope but she could hear him coming and she had to say goodbye.
She couldn't remember when he touched her but her fingers touched his palm and traced a heart, her eyes reaching up into his as they emptied of life, taking comfort in knowing she'd found him again before she died.
