(headers at bottom of page)

She tries to let him down gently. For all his wishing, there will be no fairy tale ending here. Even in a town as strange as this, there are laws that hold: gravity, genetics. Reality. A shred of evidence that defies explanation and Mulder takes off as if winged, but she's read that story, too; she knows what happens when you fly too close to the sun.

For all the times his wings have been singed, he never seems to learn. No bride, she hears herself say, but she can see from his expression that he's determined to hold onto his fantasy. Why must she always be the one to bring him back to earth?

"Where's the writer?" he asks now, verification that he hasn't listened to anything she's said. "I want to speak to the writer."

Just maybe, she thinks later, her toe tapping to the music, there's something to his expectancy after all.
