"This isn't going to work, is it?"
Trip looked into his lover's sad eyes. He'd been dreading this moment, but he
couldn't lie.
"'Fraid not Mal. I wish there was something I could do to fix it, but..." his
voice trailed off and he dropped his eyes.
" I understand. I've known it wasn't right for a while now, but I was hoping
it was something minor, that we could put it right with a little work. I
should've known I was kidding myself."
"We can't say we didn't try Mal--we've done everything we could, but I reckon
it's time to throw in the towel. If there was anything left to try, believe me,
I'd be right there."
"I know." Trip hated to hear that defeated note in Malcolm's voice. He put a
comforting arm around the other man's shoulders.
"I'm really sorry Malcolm. I know it was your favourite phase pistol."
~the end~
