Rose Without Her Jack
Just like me, all he could do was listen to the cries.
He fought to break through, throwing himself at the barrier like a wild animal, but it was useless.
Eventually, he sank to the ground, defeated. On his knees, head bowed, his tears hit the cold stone like raindrops. Over and over, he whispered my names—
"Wendy…"
"Rose…"
For a long time, I couldn't tell who he was grieving for. Wendy? Or Rose?
A low rumble of thunder rolled across the sky. Then the clouds broke. Rain poured down in torrents.
