She's been here every night for the last three months, working on ways to get Jack back. She works until she's falling over with tiredness. She barely eats, snatches sleep, but she won't leave. She won't give up.

I know what this means to her, so I don't even try. Instead, I enter the lab bearing strong coffee and chocolate bars, sitting down beside her until she notices me. She gives me a small smile, and sits up stiffly, allowing me to draw her into conversation.

It's not much of a break, but it's the best that I can do.
