"Mulder, get down!" Bullets ricochet against the wall 
as I dive, I should have listened to Scully and laid 
low, crawling, but I wanted to run.

Something's come between us since her sister died; 
one more thing that we don't talk about as we hurt, 
and it's like a torn sleeve pulling wider, sewed up 
with clumsy bright red yarn. We're losing each other-

And I hit the ground.

Blue eyes deep inside my brown, she helps me up and 
I'm forgiven. Ours is a stormy kind of love but her 
hand's in mine, and it's still the sweetest thing.
