Beware of the sudden calm of day. It heralds the arrival of a storm.

Her father's warning echoes in her mind, but she does not know why.

Lot of good that bastard did for me anyway.

There's someone knocking at the door.

[lvpd_sidle]

She opens the door. "Murphy?" Her brow furrows. "You don't need to knock."

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

"Didn't think..."

He shakes his head. "'M sorry, aingeal."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Sorry? Why--you see the door," she says softly.

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

He nods.

[lvpd_sidle]

She's been dreading this for a long time.
I can't promise you forever.
It's an odd relief to not have to dread it any more.

"You're leaving now."

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

"Not this very second, no."
Doesn't change the truth of the matter.
"Need to get m'self a bit more in control before walkin' back into th' station."
Never will.

[lvpd_sidle]

She nods, moving away from him.
You'll leave, or I will.
"I don't know what to say."
You make me feel safe. I love you.

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

"I-"
'S not that I don't feel th' same.
"I just-"

[lvpd_sidle]

"Shhhh."
I know you love me.
She moves forward, burying her head against his shoulder.
"We knew this would happen."

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

"Aye."

Arms reaching out, holding her close.

"Just never thought t'would be so soon."

[lvpd_sidle]

"If...if you can't come back...

You make me happy.

"...don't forget me?"

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

Faint, rough chuckle.
Tá mo chroí istigh ionat.
"I'd sooner forget th' color of th' sky."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Stay the night with me. Please?"

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

He nods.

[lvpd_sidle]

Nothing more to be said after that.
