Drusilla didn’t shrink under the weight of his irritation. She held his glare, her own expression was softer. More sympathetic. Upturned eyes and a slightly furrowed brow, silently pleaded with him to let his guard down. To rely on her and trust her with his feelings. When he spoke, she nodded to show she was listening; ears pinning backwards. She knew the situation, thanks to her eavesdropping, but something about hearing him say it out loud trapped her breath in her throat.
Hands on her waist pulled her closer. “Owen…” her empathetic murmur was mostly lost over her heels as they clicked against the deck. His arms wrapped around her form and held her against him. His sorrow seemed to crash into her like a wave and he held onto her like a lifeline. She didn’t know what to say to him; there was nothing she could say. Nothing could fix this except Sanders coming home alive. Drusilla curled her arms around Owen’s back, running her hand soothingly over his spine. She left her face rest against his chest.
Drusilla stayed with Owen until his show of weakness rounded full circle into irritation. He sent her home, either to keep his despair to himself, or find a way to defy Darcy.
Just because the Covenant refused to do anything for the fallen pilot, didn’t mean that all hope was lost. Sanders was her friend, and she had boundless resources at her demand. Drusilla would do anything for her friends, and she would do even more than that for Owen.
“Sairus,” she greeted when he answered the phone. “There’s a problem, and I need your help with something. Please.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
