Allison Blake slowly sat up and removed herself from Jack Carter's arms. She moved to sit beside him on the upholstered chaise lounge and wiped her eyes.
“Thanks for being here, Jack,” She said. She knew she had to go on for Kevin's sake and her own but right now she felt like leaning on another, just for a little.
“I'll always be here, if you need me,” Jack said again as he put an arms around her. She leaned into him and they sat for a minute. Then Jack remembered something. “Stark wanted you to have this,” he pulled out the black velvet box and handed it to her.
Allison opened it and nearly burst into fresh tears. “Is this what I think it is?”
“It's a logic diamond. Stark said he wanted an 'extraordinary diamond for an extraordinary woman.' He made me promise to give it to you if anything happened to him. His last thoughts were of you and keeping you safe. Fargo offered to go into the chamber but Stark wanted to make sure we had the best chance to fix the problem so he went himself. I asked him if he was sure and he said it was to keep you safe he had to do it,” Carter explained. “As much as I was against you remarrying him, I have to admit he did truly love you.”
Allison looked up at Carter through tear dampened lashes and weakly smiled. That was her Nathan, always doing then grand gesture. She knew that Carter's words would bring her comfort eventually but for now they only made the pain worse.
“Help me put the necklace on?” she asked. Carter took the necklace from the box and placed it around her neck and fastened it. She looked down and gently stroked the diamond once as if to touch the man who had bought it before she gathered her courage and stood up. “Did you tell the others yet?”
“No, I came straight here. Although Jo probably surmises something is wrong,” Carter answered.
“Then we should go and do so now,” Allison answered.
“You don't have to do that. I can take care of it,” he replied.
“I should be with Kevin when he hears and sitting here crying won't do me any good. I have to face the town sooner or later,” she said with her voice wavering just a little.
“All right,” Carter agreed as he stood beside her. “Remember, I'm always here for you.” She squeezed his hand briefly before stepping out of the tent and facing the crowd.
