The cup on the kitchen table was filled to the half-way mark. Obi-Wan contemplated the clear glass and the translucent water within, the fingers of his hand resting on his lips and combing his beard. Was it half-empty or half-full? He wondered if it meant anything that he couldn't decide either way. He felt... numb; numb from repeated exposure.
He'd not heard from Dani in weeks, not a word since the day of her departure following on Neena's quick heels. He shouldn't have let her go alone, he knew that now. She'd made promises to take every precaution and to let Neena leave, if that was truly what she wanted. He'd allowed her to talk him into staying behind. No sense in his losing work. No sense in his missing his friends' wedding. All she wanted to do was make sure Neena's luck hadn't run out. Her words, which always seemed so wise, suddenly sounded hollow.
Obi-Wan finally picked up the glass and realized his hand was shaking. He set it back down and took a cleansing breath. He centered his thoughts. Now was not time to kick himself. It was time to channel his fear and energy into something productive. It was time to go after her.
