Summary
Fox Mulder finds himself working in a bookstore and saving up to study at Oxford and leave his dark memories behind. He doesn't want to need anyone, ever.
"Head down, earn the money, get out. That’s all I wanted. Why the hell was I wondering what her name was?"*
Dana Scully is rebelling from her parent’s set path of medicine by moving away to Connecticut to study forensic science.
"In reality, what annoyed me most was the fact that I was even thinking about him at all. He should be a faceless, nameless bookstore employee. A man that I met once, in such unimportant circumstances that he faded into my memory, his face only to be deployed as a background character in my dreams, the way that the brain recycles old faces you won’t need again.
And I definitely do not need his face, ever again."*
They both keep an intimate secret, one that quickly comes to light as they feel themselves falling for each other. Though they try to fight it, hormones and curiosity get the better of them, and they end up finding a lot more than they ever could have imagined.
