Watching him go, hand reaching out only to find nothing but air, Victoria was forced again to feel everything fall away from her. To see his face, to be so close to finding what she desperately needed, only to have it slip from her grasp.
So she watched him go, like in some dream, like in some crazy nightmare that continued to replay whenever she shut her eyes. Only this was live and in person and Victoria was fairly certain something inside of her shattered again as Fraser chose to walk away.
How many times could she break under his decisions before she simply turned to dust and blew away?
Swallowing hard, Victoria pulled her coat tighter around her shoulders and wiped away the last traces of tears. A deep breath, a quick straighten of her hair, and Victoria turned to greet the next person with a smile. Because the only way to not die was to keep moving, the only way to not let the fact he was gone destroy her was to make herself cold until thoughts of him were frozen away.
