I'd half expected one. But this case's only 
miracle yet was a small, ugly pendant.

"Agent Scully is already in love," Padgett 
said, and walked away. She looked at me with 
big, nervous eyes, as though her deepest secret 
was revealed by a stranger; as perhaps it was.

I smiled softly; I wouldn't press. As we left, 
I wondered: will a suspect's words bring us 
closer? Is /this/ /our/ miracle?

Now I hold her tight, sobbing but whole, her 
blood and tears staining my shirt, and I know: 
she's alive, we're together: that's all the 
miracle I could ever ask.
