"I shouldn't be surprised. He carried that old picture of you around with him forever. Said you were his 'lucky charm'... guess he was wrong about that."
I still love this. It might be my favorite part of the whole fic.
No, probably this:
"When I go," she stood up, "bury me here in the grass, next to him."
"Somehow I doubt I'd be around for that. My life's a little more expendable than yours." He said it so matter-of-factly, that it was clear he believed it.
Sarah turned and put her hands on his arms, looking him in the eyes. "No one's expendable."
It just conveys so much: Sarah's love for Kyle. Derek's belief that his role is to die and his almost callous disregard for human like, and Sarah's belief that life is precious. Good ( ... )
