Summary
The sound of Mark’s voice is starting to fade from her memory now, two years in. The scratch of his pen against paper, the way he always tapped his foot slightly out of time. He used to play records in the mornings, while they got ready for work together, and she secretly loved his taste in music. She never told him; it would’ve gone right to his head.

Summary
The infamous sneeze sequence. Mark always held his finger aloft - 'Please hold' - and patiently reserved his blessings for after the final instance.
It happened once when they were fighting. In the space between the first and second sneeze, Gemma looked at him with red, swollen eyes; he looked at her and timidly raised a finger. She'd choke-sneeze-laughed and tipped her head against his shoulder. The wall between them crumbled. They folded into each other, all relief and sniffles. A return to closeness.
"I'm still mad at you," she said, into his chest.
"Oh, me too," he assured her.
But behind it, always - It's me, I'm here, I'm yours, I'm sorry.
or: Gemma tries to cope with the emptiness of the testing floor.
