Memo - Encrypted - EYES ONLY - subject: potential move

It has come to my attention that your research into my life has gone beyond acceptable limits of sanity and logic. Congratulations. If you continue reading at this pace, you may actually know what happens in the intervening years before someone spoils you terribly.

Research is going to be key. You've noted several points that will help you along your way, but remember that the most important part of the application is in the analysis, not the raw data. Due to time constraints, you need to be concise. I have confidence in your ability to make the correct decisions as you progress. However, I will be monitoring you.

Failure isn't an option.

Best of luck.

[In all honesty, neither would she. They wouldn't have a child if she were adverse to incredible displays of affection.

She's just not sure how to handle them anymore.

If she's being honest with herself, she misses him.]

If you put it that way...

[She shifts a little, turning toward the table as she unlaces their fingers. Taking his hand in hers, she cradles it, then places her other hand alongside it, enclosing the side of his palm. This is affection, alright?]

[This is true, and he wouldn't cling to certain memories if he was, and he had the advantage of having Miranda around to get some affection from.

And when she takes his hand like that he stares for a moment at their hands, surprised that she took the gesture but then his smile softens slightly and he makes sure his pipe is propped up against his cup before reaching up to cover her hand with it, and then leaning forward to gently kiss her fingers as he does before leaning back into his chair, just smiling.]

[She looks surprised by the kiss, but not displeased. It makes her feel younger, like a woman full of hope and promise. The person she once was. And she's pleased that he brings that out in her again. If she were bolder in this area, she'd be practically jumping over the table to be closer to him. She missed him. More than words.]

[And it's when she doesn't look displeased by it that his smile widens and he rubs a thumb along the side of her hand.]

If I were a younger man...[He would be climbing over there to kiss her probably, or kneeling in front of her and doing something. Who knows.]

What does age have to do with anything?

[He looks thoughtful for a moment and shakes his head.] I would be on the floor doing something I shouldn't.

[Never mind he's forty and runs ten miles a day. Ignore that...]

[Alright, you've got her chuckling.]

That's interesting. Tell me more.

[And he can't help the grinning.]

What that I'd be on my knees in front of you or leaning across this table and doing something, well, you know. Children may not appreciate that.

There aren't any children to offend. I appreciate the idea, though.

[Which just makes him smirk before shifting around to leaning forward and resting his chin on their hands.] Do you now?

[An even face, here.]

I've never had a problem with it.

[She may be in her forties but it doesn't mean she can't have fun. And she leans in, fingers resting lightly on the table.]

Jacob, you're coming on to me. I'm shocked.

[He just turned forty so he still knows how to have fun, when he's not pretending to be an old man and grumbling about how things were back in his day on a ship...]

I learned rather recently that I should make things clear with some people about certain things. [That's Jacob speak for he's learned he should show he cares.]

If only I could do the same.

[Maybe she should try.]

[He would be alright with that.]

It took a bit of a shock to make me realize it.

[A deep breath.]

I miss you. I'm loath to say it, but it's the truth.But I know you can keep a secret.

[To which he squeezes her hand with both of his, well now.]

Of course I can, and I'll keep this one to myself. [He takes a deep breath himself before going on.] It hasn't been the same.

[That is the only break you get, Keyes. Take it or leave it.]

No, it hasn't. I have my own regrets. I'm sure you have yours.

[Of course, he'll take it all man.]

Of course, if I didn't I wouldn't be here would I?

[Good.

How she wishes she had the capacity to love.]

No. I suppose not. You're being generous.

[She tugs his hand a little closer, leans in a little more.]

Sometimes I wish we were young again.

[He wishes she did too.]

No, more like I've missed you and thought you should know as much.

[He lets her tug his hands closer, letting his chin follow them.]

Sometimes I do too.

I'm glad you missed me. You should have.

[She shakes her head.]

I really can't say things like that with a straight face.

[Wow Halsey, you are so lucky he knows how to speak you.]

I don't expect you too, I'd worry if you could.

[There are some things that he doesn't want to hear.]

[She glances away, quietly huffing at herself. Her own weakness. Her own failings.]

But you can say things like that easily.

[But she really wants to go over there. Just one kiss. One.]

[He shakes his head at that, sighing.]

Just who I am. It's not you.

Why don't you do the talking for both of us?

[Serious eye contact, here.]
