breakableheartsWho: Just Sam Campbell, then later with Mark Campbell
What: Rock Bottom
Where: Sydney, Australia
When: After this
The sea breeze whipped Sam’s hair into his face and he raked it away from his eyes. He paused at the gates to the cemetery and took a deep, bracing breath. It always took a lot to psych himself up to go into the place. It was gorgeous, overlooking the sea, with countless rows of graves and memorials sloping down towards the cliffs. Michelle had very few last wishes upon her death and this being her last resting place was one of them. It was a stone’s throw from the street they both grew up in and many of her best life memories — their wedding on the beach — were made overlooking the same ocean her grave now watched over forever. The beauty didn’t make it any easier to visit.
Since they all came to Sydney during the international crisis that was the pandemic, Sam had been wanting to come visit his departed wife and baby son. He always did whenever he was in Sydney to see his family but it had been harder this time. Even before he fell ill, there had been a lot going on in his head because of the direction he and Alexis were moving in their relationship. It had been a shock for everyone to learn who Justin’s real biological mother was but never in a million years would Sam have thought he’d end up falling in love with her and wanting things he thought he’d missed the boat on. Then he was unwell and it pulled the world right out from under him to hear it was cancer. No matter how much of a learned and skilled doctor and surgeon he was to know it was a highly treatable form of cancer, it was still cancer and cancer was what stole his wife and unborn son from him many years ago.
( Physically, he was struggling... )
