“Get the ***** off of me!  Let me Go! You ***** *****!”  Greenlee growls out, “I hate you!”

“I.I know you do..but I couldn’t let you destroy something that will be so precious to you later…I…you would regret it later…trust me you would…” Kendall doesn’t loosen her hold on the shorter woman.  She just lets her struggle and pound on her forearms as they hold her.

“What the ***** would you know about it?!”  Greenlee kicks Kendall in the shin.

“Ow!” Kendall almost lets go, but doesn’t, “Enough to know when someone has your whole heart and they leave or well, your heart goes with them, but Greenlee you would have hated yourself later if broke that picture frame of you two.”

“I..I c-can’t do this.  I can’t look at all these happy memories…” Greenlee mumbles out, “not and know that we can never make anymore…ever…not ever…” Greenlee breaks into sobs, which leave her body shaking in their war on her small frame.

‘oh..what do I do?  I don’t know how to comfort…um..*****!’ Kendall thinks as she holds the weeping woman to her.

“Sshhh…it’s…well…it’s not okay, but…come over here,” Kendall tries, but Greenlee can’t move as the sobs wrack her body,  “Okay, well…” Kendall figures Greenlee can’t weigh that much and it isn’t far to the couch, so as ungracefully as you could imagine, she picks Greenlee up and transports her to the couch straining not to drop her on the way.

“Damn, you are heavier than I thought…” she groans as she basically collapses to the couch with Greenlee falling awkwardly on top of her.  She settles and is surprised to find her arms automatically wrapped themselves around Greenlee in a tight hug. 

Kendall scoots up into a more seated position taking the grieving widow with her onto her lap more.  Greenlee seemingly unaware of all of this instinctively moves in tight to Kendall’s arms.  She snuggles her head right into her jaw line and grips her would be comforter in a death-lock hold.  The hot tears she is crying running along Kendall’s neck.  Not sure what else to do, Kendall absently strokes the sobbing woman’s back.

“Sssshhh…one day..one day you’ll want to look at all these pictures and remember.  You’ll want to…hold tight to a picture and know you loved each other…one day, I promise…it just won’t be soon…” Kendall whispers to the raging woman, “Leo was..well, someone who loved you like no other and accepted you for all of you…just like Ryan did m-me..And one day you’ll love remembering that all the time.”
