“Did you doubt I’d find you?” Blade asked her.
“I was beginning to wonder,” she confessed.
Blade sadly stared at the transport. He knew Hickok was in there, slumped over Joan’s lifeless body.
“I feel so sorry for him,” Jenny stated, seemingly reading Blade’s mind.
“So do I,” Blade replied gloomily.
“He’ll recover,” Jenny predicted.
“How would you feel if I was the one lying in there?” Blade queried.
Jenny didn’t respond.
“You know,” Blade mused aloud, “just a few days ago Plato was telling me how hard life can be, how these hardships are intended to mold our character. If he were here right now, I’d ask him how Joan’s death is supposed to mold Hickok’s character.”
“One thing’s for sure,” Jenny concurred, kissing him on the lips.
“What’s that?” he asked.
“One thing life definitely isn’t,” Jenny mused, “is a piece of cake.”
“Maybe,” Blade grinned, despite his sorrow, “it all depends on how you slice it.”
