Title: ice over
Rating: PG
Summary: Gail has gone quiet, now.
Date: Summer 2006
AU: Framed
Notes: none.
Gail had gone quiet. Nathan hated it. He preferred her angry, raging, fighting, anything to this.
She sat at the table with her feet together, hands folded, staring straight ahead, eyes red from exhaustion, or tears. The reporters had their home number now; he'd unplugged the phone.
He sat down beside her. "Gail..."
She started, shook her head. "Don't. Please, don't."
"Gail, you didn't do anything wrong. We can..."
"No." She pulled away from him, hugged her chest. "It's over. I can't. Not anymore."
"Gail..."
She smiled bitterly-- "Court of public opinion, Nathan. It's over." -- and closed her eyes.
