Goodbyes

Summary: Eric says a goodbye he couldn’t before.
Eric Weiss stared down at the headstone – Nadia Santos. Not too long ago, he’d seriously hoped for her hand in marriage, to give her his last name.
“Why did you change your name to Parkman anyway?” Weiss asked his brother, who stood behind him.
“Seemed like a good way to start clean, change my name and all… I was tired of constantly being compared to you,” Matt trailed off, watching his brother carefully. “Who was she?”
“A wonderful and beautiful woman. I missed her funeral to come help you.” Eric didn’t mean to sound harsh. This way was easier on him anyway. He’d never had much luck with women. He’d even envied Matt for the family that he had. Saying goodbye to the one woman he’d cared about above all others [and who’d seemed to care for him] publicly would have been twice as hard. Losing her was bad enough. He paused, knowing he had to get back to work and figure out what was going on with Matt, why people were after him, but he lingered another moment, then whispered ever so softly. “Goodbye.”
