Primeval drabble: Try And Try Again

Title: Try And Try Again
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, Stephanie Lester (OC).
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 266: To The Ends Of The Earth. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and companion to One Last Try. Um, my muse has gone angsty again. Thanks go to Fred for casting her eye over it.


James watched Steff drifted asleep before he leaned over and kissed her gently. As much as he wanted to just hold her tight in his arms, he couldn't.

He crept to the computer and logged on. He knew he had promised Steff he would stop looking, but how could he? What sort of man would he be if he just let her... James rubbed his eyes hard.

He wouldn't, couldn't give up. He had travelled to all corners of the globe in his previous job and had never failed in a task.

He wouldn't now.

He had to save Steff.

*passes tissue*

Lester needs a cuddle, even if he doesn't want one.

Thanks for reading.

Don't know who to feel sorrier for, Steph or James.

Um, both? I'm being mean to both of them.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, that's tragic. And very fitting.
