    Summary

    Cheryl inhales sharply through her nose when she realizes that being so scared to touch and to tarnish means she's forgotten to breathe.

    Without planning to, on the exhale, she says, "You were gone." She swallows around the high press of emotion. "It was dark."

    This time, it's Toni's chin that wobbles. She holds Cheryl's hands tighter, like she might know fear too.

    "I know," she whispers, painfully raw. "I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to see it." A beat. "I'm sorry you had to live it."

    Or: The grief after the last plague, and the reunion after the resurrection.
