it was only when he woke up in huerta that he realized it must have been a dream. that when they ran him through on the stretcher, he couldn’t have been conscious, couldn’t have seen…
but he wasn’t sure whether or not that was comforting.
because she was there. ashley. standing in the corner, watching silently, serene resolve on her face, brown hair cascading over her shoulders.
he tried to say something to her, tried to tell shepard as she hovered over his stretcher, but either she couldn’t hear him or he couldn’t make any sounds come out.
he thought he saw her standing by his window as he drifted in and out between surgeries, but when he woke up for good, well. she was never there, and who would believe him? who would want an alliance major seeing ghosts?
he saw her twice more.
once as he pointed his gun at shepard, a flash of white and pink armor and long brown hair out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn’t turn to make sure he’d seen what he thought he’d seen, even though part of him already was sure it was her. she was there and watching and she would have faith. he said, i’d better not regret this, and he almost heard her voice in response. you know it’s the right choice, LT.
the last time was just hours later, as he approached the docking bay of the normandy. clearer than he’d ever seen her before, standing by the airlock, looking out the window with a wistful expression on her beautiful, young, strong features.
she turned to face him and as their eyes met she faded into nothingness.
together until the last.
