ncisdrabble100 “Phone call with dialogue/no dialogue” challenge - I've just remembered (a) why I didn't want to get into another fandom, and (b) that I suck at titles. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
azarsuerte I'm still blaming you.
He is not, Tony tells himself, eavesdropping, even if he can hear every word of Abby’s conversation. After all, she didn’t step out of the room when the phone rang, isn’t making any attempt to keep her voice down.
He gleans that she’s being told something about her father, something not good, and when she hangs up the phone, a dreadful silence falls over the lab. She slowly turns to him, face pale under pale make-up, eyes red-rimmed, and without her saying anything, he knows what’s happened.
He doesn’t speak, just goes to her and holds her as she cries.
