[ Softly. It's what Sam wanted most of when his mother wasted away to sickness slowly but surely. It's what he wanted more of when a car accident took his father.
It's what he needed to rewind and stop when he saw Riley light up in the sky like a shooting star. Falling and dying just as quickly. Kirk's not dead, sure, but... He's not here. Like your best friend gone time travelling and taking the long way back.
If only to have another moment's worth with someone you love. If only.
Sam squeezes McCoy's hand a little. Watches the man grasp him back. Wishes he could turn the clock for him. Give him just another moment. It's not always as painless as people think, to know someone you love is out there alive - but no longer with you. No longer within your reach. ]
He's your husband. There's nothing you couldn't ask for.
[ And they know, don't they. That back home, they don't remember. They know they're living on borrowed time here. With people long dead. Building relationships that will wink out like shooting stars, too, the moment they go home. ]
