Seconds
(c)MMI T h r e a d s

It all built to that moment where he saw her standing, in her 
solitude, in the shadows of the basement where the soul of Mulder
lurked.

All he had to do, all he must- just open his mouth and say it.

Through the stale air, her hair lifted as she turned to see him 
standing, alone. She looked at him, and he looked to her. He 
willed his lips to move and say it.

Say it to her soft skin and her blue eyes. Say it to her heart, 
her mind, her existence.

Seconds turned to moments. Moments to minutes. Minutes to 
eternities. An eternity in his mind where she understood what he 
said without having to say it. An eternity where his words were 
meaning, and meaning their lives.

John hesitated.

Scully looked at him.

"Hello, Agent Scully."

And seconds turned to moments...
