WHO: Lucas and Rosana
WHERE: The resort.
WHEN: FORWARD-DATED - March 17th, 2015, late afternoon.
WHAT: The quarantine is lifted and Lucas and Ro finally talk.
The last six days had been nothing short of their very own version of hell. It might be overly dramatic, but sitting inside of those walls watching the second, hours and days tick by had given every occupant ample time to run through all the 'what ifs'. All any of them had been doing was waiting, just waiting. Some were waiting to turn, others were waiting to be released - the downside was nobody fully knew which side of the coin each person fell on. Lucas was merely thankful to find he was still alive and breathing when the clock struck the hour they would all be allowed to leave. It hasn't taken long to gather his things, after all he hadn't had much with him. No, what seemed to take forever was the walk from the lab to the hotel. Lucas didn't know who - if anyone - might be in the lobby to greet him when he got there. A part of him, a very small part, hoped that Ro and their children would be there in the lobby to rejoice with him over the fact that he hadn't died. But he was trying to ignore that small hope - after all he didn't feel like he deserved that sort of homecoming. This all felt very much like coming off of a stint on a carrier. Instead of months though it had barely been a week. The other glaring difference was the question that lingered...what now? He remember the things he resolved to do if he got out alive. Fix his relationships with his kids, speak to Ro, maybe even save their marriage. Still, Lucas drug his feet s little as they approached the hotel. Was he ready for this? Before he knew it he was standing in front of the lobby doors, his hand grasping one of the handles. "Now or never," Lucas muttered as he wrenched the door and stepped inside. His gaze scanning the room for familiar faces - four to be exact. When he caught sight of Rosana, he was speechless for a long moment, finally uttering two short words when he found his voice again - though he knew it was unlikely Rosana would hear him due to the distance. "You came..." |
