"I've left him," she says, her tone determined. There's emotion, but no sadness in her voice. If you couldn't see the wet residue that brightens her glorious green eyes, you might think it was no trouble to her.
You don't ask why she did it: you know some of the reason, or at least you think so, through Bill Adama's talk and Galactica's rumours.
She reaches out to you, this young woman who once felt like a niece of some sort to you, once upon a time long ago before the boy who had loved her was killed in her defence. She reaches out in a way you'd never expected, seeking some form of comfort, and you let her.
No need to let her in past knowing your death; she knows you'd like to feel alive just as much as she wants to feel wanted, right now.
No matter what else happens, for this moment out of time, that's enough.
