Cissie dragged just about every snack food she had out of the cupboard before turning to the mini-fridge. She was going to need to go shopping tomorrow but she didn't care at all. She checked her cell phone again after sticking some nachos in the microwave--nothing from Tim yet. She was dying to tell him about Bart, but she knew he was working and she didn't want to risk interrupting, particularly since he'd warned her that he would be out of touch for a while.
While the microwave worked its magic, she went back to her computer and laughed at Bart's latest message before sending one in return: "So--are you coming over?"
Cissie sat back in her chair and chewed on her lip while she waited.

Date: 2008-10-05 11:13 pm (UTC)"I kind of owe you," she said quietly. "Like--a lot. I... did a lot of thinking, after... About you. And Tim, and me, and what I wanted. And mostly about you, and what you would have told me if I had been smart enough to talk to you and ask you what I should do about Tim. I kind of thought--I figured--you'd tell me to talk to him and tell him how I felt. Because... life's too short and unpredictable and we've lost so much..." While she talked, forcing the words out as quickly as possible before she could censor them or hold them in, she turned her head and pushed her face into Bart's shoulder. "Anyway, I thought--I thought you'd tell me to tell him. So I did, some time after your funeral."

Even if he did, it really wouldn't have made much of a difference. It wasn't like he went into the Speed Force of his own free will. Besides, if he had known, he would probably have felt like the biggest jerk ever. "You did good, Cissie," he said, resting his cheek on the top of her head.
