An Angry Maura

Maura's instinct was right. The Doctor was leaving as she and Gregory got to Giles' hospital room. As soon as they saw his face, they knew what had happened.

Giles was gone.

Everyone was surprised at how well Maura handled the funeral. Although Gregory knew that she was only hanging on by a thread.

After everyone had left the night of the funeral, Maura went out to the family cemetery alone. There she finally allowed the frustrations, helplessness and anger come boiling out of her.

"How can this happen? Why didn't you tell us when you first got sick? Why didn't you tell me? How long had this been going on?"

Then, the quieter questions came, "How can you be gone?"

With this came the tears.
