This was absolutely beautiful. Well done.

This is beautiful!

This was beautiful! I had been imagining a scene something like this, it would make sense that it would happen in such an emotional moment they share when she wants comfort. But it's not just the fact that she wants comfort and that any comfort from anyone would do, it's the fact of their deep connection, their "silence twenty-three years old", the fact that he knew and cared about her mom and she had a soft spot for him. He's her family.
This story captured that sensation perfectly. It's a very sexual story, but the physical intensity serves to mirror the emotional intensity of the moment.

This was so beautiful. I'am so happy you wrote this. Ty

You had me at "Silences have kept them warm for twenty-three years". That was so beautifully written and so heartbreaking at the same time. Poor Scully.

I read it twice.
