Summary: Why they can’t.
Author’s Notes: This is a first attempt at drabbling, which is the fine art of condensing an entire scene into exactly 100 words - not as easy as it may sound. It’s also the first SHIP-like piece to come from these keys, so be kind in your evaluation. Getting feet wet.
Beta Reader: It’s 100 words – if it needs beta’ing, there’s a real problem with calling myself a writer.
Disclaimers: The characters of Stargate SG1 will always belong to ‘them’ – however, these fics are all just extended-wear warranty options on the ‘what-ifs’.

Jack watched her leave. Saw her hesitancy at the door, hand lightly on the latch. She glanced back at him, wheat strands spiking down across her eyes, drowning him in her expectation. As usual, he took the easy way out, acknowledging her going only with a weak, non-committal smile, unable to give voice to the one word he knew she wanted to hear.
‘Stay.’
But he looked away, avoidance always his sanctuary, heartsick beneath the weight of her recurring disappointment. In his silence she closed the door, leaving him to swelter in the heat of what had been her presence.
