Drabble

Just a drabble connected to a book I'm writing. I don't want to add it to the original story because these two have enough misery already. This is my story. Do not take out without my permission.

"What's that?" Min leant down over Allie's shoulder to kiss him on the cheek. Allie blinked and a tear trickled down, landing on Min's lip. Min spun him around in his chair and took hold of his shoulders, looking worriedly at him.

"What's wrong?" he said. "What happened?" Allie shook his head, as if waking from a trance and burst into tears at the sight of his fiance. Min held him close, trying to calm the hysterical shakes of his shoulders. He sounded like he was in pain and Min didn't know what to do.

"Shh," he hushed. "Everything will be alright, I'm here for you, don't cry." His whispers were calm and soothing and after a couple of minutes Allie had calmed down enough to give Min the paper he clutched hard in his hands.

"An invitation?" Min said and opened it. And dropped the paper. He looked at Allie, his eyes red and swollen and tears streaked along his cheeks, dripping of his chin. Min pulled him close again, trying to comfort what cannot be comforted. He pulled Allie with him to the sofa and pulled him down on his lap, letting him drown his sobs into his shoulder. 

"I-" Allie started but was interrupted by a loud sob and the words caught in his throath. "She's dead." he whispered and last and Min nodded. 

"I'm so sorry," Min whispered and Allie buried his face in his neck again.

You've created a very emotional scene. I care for the characters and I want to know why "her dying" set off this flood of tears. Who is she? Very good!
