A/N: For the P100 prompt 193 Stargazing. Angst. Thanks to Fred for looking at it for me. The first in my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and continued in Unarmoured.



James sat down beside his wife, his eyes fixed on the sky.

“Do you remember how we used to sit outside and just stare up at the stars? You would lean against me and we'd talk about our dreams for the future. What we would do together.”

James closed his eyes for a moment.

“We had so many dreams, that world cruise once I'd retired.” James gave a short laugh. “You always said we'd never do it as I never would.”

He turned to face the gravestone as fresh tears ran down his face. “I'm sorry.”

Oh no! This is heartbreaking.

A wise lesson: don't put your dreams on hold, but try to fullfill them if you can.

I've been mean to Lester again, sorry about that.

Very true, poor Lester certainly wishes he had, he just didn't think he won't have the chance later.

D'awwww!

Jeez, and I thought I was mean having him and his wife get divorced!

Translated as: You're horrible and I love you for it.

Um, I am rather mean to Lester on occasions *nods* (I think this is the third or fourth time I've killed his wife).

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, even if I was horrible to James *g*
