One night, she found herself waiting for him in his bunk. They had just completed another job despite the problems that arose as usual. But it was a close call. She curled up in the big orange chair he had in his room.
He climbed down, clearly unhappy about something. He looked up to see her, sitting in that chair. She was curled up as small as she could get and he came over, picking her up in his arms and sat in the chair, holding her to him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest, breathing deep. She just needed to be held. She had so much emotion running through her. Love for Jayne. Love for Wash. Guilt for moving on. Pain at all the loss she has suffered. It was too much sometimes for her to contain. And in his arms, as he smoothed out her hair and whispered soothing words in her ear, she found solace from it all.
