Her eyes are the same shade of blue as Jack’s. There is nothing special about them, they don’t sparkle and are not in any way intense. Rather they are a little dull and watery. They don’t stand out. They just are.
But to Tru, they mean everything. To her, those eyes speak volumes. They speak of the present with her daughter and her past with Jack.
She can’t help but wonder why both her worlds could not combine - and the answer comes to her instantly. Jack’s death was unexpected and couldn’t be reversed. Given that each of their callings set them down on opposite sides of a battlefield, it was probably for the best.
While they’d had some good times, they’d also had many bad, and many that forced them to face off against one another rather than letting their feelings for each other be the priority.
It wasn’t right. None of it was. Their love was a forbidden one and like it or not, should never have existed. But exist it did and now Tru is looking at her daughter who also should not exist and remembering.
Her eyes are the same as Jack’s, but so far her personality is like Tru’s. Her strength and determination are Tru’s. Her hair is like Tru’s. She is Tru’s daughter, a reflection of herself in the form of a child. But there’s also some Jack in there, always will be, and that knowledge both comforts and worries her.
Will her daughter take after herself or Jack in ways beyond genetics? She hopes not.
