(after the slap)
Trembling fingers trace the fading hand print on Ripley's cheek.
"I'm sorry."
"It's all right."
Ripley pulls her close, feels the rapid heartbeat.
"You were going to let us die."
"Never."
Lambert searches her eyes for truth, sags in resignation against her. Lips brush the pulse of Ripley's neck. "I'm sorry," she says again. They listen to the storm outside the ship, the distant voices of crew mates.
"Will Kane be all right?"
"I don't know."
Lambert sighs and Ripley holds her tighter. Looking out the port at the ashen air she curses the stone which is now her heart.
