"A Moment of Vulnerability"

Myra watched as Natalie's emotions boiled over, tears streaming down her face as she laughed and cried in Emma's arms. Myra's own eyes welled up with tears, her heart aching for the woman who had been through so much. She had seen Natalie's tough exterior, her sharp wit and her unyielding determination, but in this moment, Myra was reminded that Natalie was still human, still vulnerable. Emma held Natalie close, whispering words of comfort in her ear, and Myra felt a pang of empathy for both women. She had known Natalie for a long time, but she had never seen her like this, so open and raw. Emma, too, seemed to be feeling a deep connection to Natalie, and Myra couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards her girlfriend, Doc. As Natalie began to compose herself, a smile spreading across her face, Myra felt a sense of relief wash over her. She looked over at Doc, who was watching the scene with a warm expression, and without thinking, she laid her head on his shoulder. It was a gentle, intimate gesture, one that felt natural to her, and she was aware of Doc's arm instinctively wrapping around her, holding her close. Natalie, still smiling, looked over at the two of them, and for a moment, Myra thought she saw a glimmer of the old Natalie, the one who had been a part of the cartel. But as Natalie's eyes crinkled at the corners, and she teased Doc and Myra, Myra realized that this was different. This was a smile of joy, of connection, of friendship. "Looks like someone's getting a little cozy," Natalie said, her voice playful, and Doc chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. Myra felt a flush rise to her cheeks, but she didn't move, didn't want to break the moment. She was aware of Emma watching them, a look of understanding in her eyes, and Myra knew that she had seen the universe where Doc and Natalie were together. But Emma didn't want to sour the moment, didn't want to intrude on the happiness that radiated from Doc and Myra. As Natalie continued to tease them, Myra felt a sense of peace wash over her. This was what it meant to be with people who truly understood you, who truly loved you. And in this moment, Myra knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be, surrounded by people who had become her family. Natalie's smile faltered for a moment, and Myra saw a glimmer of sadness in her eyes. It was a reminder that Natalie's past was complicated, that she had been a part of a world that didn't allow for moments like these. But as she looked at Doc and Myra, as she looked at Emma, Myra knew that Natalie was finding her way, was learning to let go of the past and find happiness in the present. And in that moment, Myra felt grateful to be a part of it, to be a part of Natalie's journey towards healing and redemption.
