The Darkest Wolves
"I'm fine, Emily. Just... distracted, I guess. I didn't mean to worry you."
Emily continued to study him, not entirely convinced. After a few moments of silence, she hesitated and then asked gently, "Do you... miss her, Jason? Your wife?" She paused, looking at the ground. "Are you sad that she's... that she's gone? Your former Luna..."
The question took Jason by surprise. He wasn't used to discussing his late wife with anyone, let alone Emily, but he felt a strong urge to answer her honestly. He kept holding her hand, the warmth of her touch grounding him.
