Alias FIC: The Stand-In (drabble)
An Alias drabble for luvarvinsloane. fanfic100 prompt #19 - 'white'
Title: The Stand-In
Word count: 100 exactly. I'd forgotten how hard this was...
*
Most of the horrible things Sydney thought about her father have faded. She took long baths and drank many glasses of wine, and let them fall between her fingers as sand. She forgave him in pieces, in slices of humanity she summoned from she knew not where.
Later, when it flares again, when she wants to hurt him but can't summon the words for it, she closes her eyes and calls up the image again: the whiteness of her dress; the brilliance of Danny's smile; the heaviness of the ring on her finger; and Sloane, walking her down the aisle.
