As she lays lonely in bed late at night, Elizabeth runs her fingers over John's old watch she now wore on her wrist. The Colonel had worn it for years before she got him a new one for Christmas. At first it was a selfish reason. The moment he took off the old watch to wear the new one, Elizabeth put it on her own wrist.
She always liked wearing men's watches. It was a habit she had when she was younger when she wore her father's watches. The watches men wore weren't frilly, pretty and encased in rhimestones. They were simple and silver the way watches were meant to be.
But now the watch served a new purpose. After their agreement to "take a break" after the whole damn inncident with Kolya, she missed John so. She missed holding him, she missed kissing him, most of all she missed having him at her side. When she ran her fingers over the watch...he didn't seem so far away.
