If I hadn't talked to him over the network, I'd know. Isaac said he'd smelled him.

[daggers]

Right.

[ She may never get over that part. The smelling. ]

And we'll find out who the other one is.

[affectioning]

We will.

[ His shoulder bumps hers for reassurance. ] Brave new world... [ His fingers slide and interlock with hers. ]

[daggers]

[ She smiles as the bump jostles her out of position, swaying back into him in retaliation that isn't really retaliation at all. ]

Some things haven't changed, though.

[affectioning]

They evolved. I feel like we're not trying to get what we had but -- we're having what we have. Finally. [ And then there's Isaac. It's confusing but exhilarating. ]

[daggers]

Mmhmm.

[ She tips her head against his shoulder, her fingers still laced through his. ]

Maybe it was always working towards this.

[affectioning]

Really? I feel like, I was pretty outside... of this. [ But he cants his head, too. ]

[daggers]

Well, no, I meant - with us. The other part was kind of a surprise.

Not a bad one. Just - a surprise.

[affectioning]

A part of me always thought we'd be like this. Again. But, a part of me was scared we never would. Again.

[daggers]

[ It's a few beats before she answers softly. ]

Me too.

[affectioning]

There's also another part... that's afraid it won't last. [ He brings her hand to his lips. ]

[daggers]

[ She watches him quietly. ]

Which part is the biggest part?

[affectioning]

[ He locks eyes with her and leans in, kissing her softly. ]

[daggers]

[ Her breath catches, the way it always does when he kisses her, and she kisses him back, lightly cupping his cheek with one hand. ]

[affectioning]

[ He nips at her lips again before sitting back. ] That part. It'll always be that part.

[daggers]

[ She grins, leaning into him without hesitation. ]

I like that part.

[affectioning]

I like it, too.

[daggers]

[ She falls silent for a moment, and then: ]

Are you hungry? I could use another drink.

[affectioning]

Yeah. Starved. After you.
