The agent was perched at the edge of her bed, head hung and shoulders hunched. It had been a year, a year to this day and Peggy thought she would be fine, but the deaths were stacking up against her and this anniversary had come to soon.
“I miss him and I don’t think anything will fill that void” the agent spoke up into the silence that had settled. “It feels wrong that we get to live without him here” Peggy spoke, finally confessing what was making her heart so heavy.
“I can’t do this Howard” her head turning to stare at her friend.
“You are strong, you can, Pegs” the scientist tried to confide.
“I’m not strong-” she started to speak before being cut off.
“ no, you ARE strong. ” Howard spoke, giving the agent no other option but to smile sadly at him, thankful he had her back even on the darkest of days.
