A frosted-over window (V is for Voyeurism)
For the second round of the rememberlaura alphabet drabble challenge
She was a voyeur of her own life. She watched her reactions to the deaths of her family. She watched a teacher climb to the Cabinet and then the highest office in the Colonies. She watched a woman with her name and face make unconscionable decisions. She watched her death and rebirth and recurring illness.
She watched as a flawed, honorable man slowly fell in love with her. She watched as he made a home for her in his ship, in his quarters, in his life.
She wished she could melt her icy heart and live the life she watched.
