After the Trial

[simm_master]

I knew today wasn't a good day to do the trial, and I have a feeling that somebody knew that too

*is in the kitchen, making a cup of tea, watching John worriedly. She purses her lips a second before saying softly*

Do you want to talk about it?

*sits on loveseat, head resting on his hands, staring at the telly which is on mute right now*

I don't know. What's there to talk about? I'm losing, she's winning. End of story.

No no no. *she says quickly, bringing the tea to the sitting room and setting them on the table. She sits next to him and pulls him to her, placing a kiss on his head and rubbing his back*

No, John, don't do that. This isn't over, and she isn't winning. We might have lost this battle, but the war's not over. We're going to make it through this, and you're going to win.

*holds her tightly, burying his face into her shoulder* I hope you're right. It doesn't feel like I'm winning right now. Feels like every step I take I'm losing her more and more. I was so glad to see her, but I wish I could have held her.

*sounding more bitter and angry* I have a feeling Kate's new boyfriend told her not to let me hold Molly.
