Re-adjusting (Challenge 139: Prodigal Child)
For two weeks Jack watched Peter re-adjust to the routine, briefing and training other team members. At night Jack would hold him close while the tears fell. Peter’s disappearance had been a shock to him. Now that he was back Jack could feel tension between them.
“Why are you crying?” Jack asked one night and wiped away a tear.
“Just the shock of being back I guess,” Peter replied, “I nearly killed myself the first night away,” He confessed.
“His death wasn’t your fault.”
“I missed you,” Peter went on ignoring him, “I love you Jack.”
He was broken inside.
