Why this should be read: Looking through my old bookmarks, I can't believe I never posted this here, because it is really one of my old favorites and I have re-read it quite a few times. Set post-Heroes, this is Cassie, raw from losing yet another person, not consoled by what anyone says. And this is Teal'c, not trying to console by words. And that's what helps.
Part of her wanted Sam to break, even just a little, so that she would feel free to break too.
The grass behind her crunched and Cassie instinctively stiffened. The shadow was too big to be Sam, too still to be Jack or Daniel. Somehow it seemed that Teal'c was the one charged with the duty of finding her when she wandered off.
She waited for him to say something, waited for him to try and convince her to go inside and play the part of the 'normal' Earth teenager who had lost a mother for the second time. She even waited for him to do something completely inane like tell her to get up because the grass was going to ruin her skirt.
She didn't care.
