Not a week had passed since January that she
hadn't seen him.

He didn't talk, just watched; when she noticed,
he'd smile, and go.

In dreams she followed, sat in his lap, told
him she loved him and read together until the
end of time.

Last night as she teetered between the pull of
his love and the stronger force that (she was
terrified) might have been Mulder, she'd heard
him speak.  More, she'd heard what he didn't
say:  "Your life needs you more than I do,
Dana.  Go."  And especially: "I'm so proud of
you, Starbuck."

Scully blinked her tears away and smiled at the
silly sports video beside her.  No, she didn't
think she'd see Ahab again, for a long time.

And that was okay.
