Summary: This could be her forever.
Spoilers: The House of the Rising Sun, Something Nice Back Home
Notes: for lost_in_108 #53, cave.
After Jack proposes, he makes love to her, slow, heavy, like he's trying to anchor her. When he falls asleep afterwards, she pulls the sheet up to cover even their heads, cocooning them in a cave of cotton. It's quiet, too warm, and she watches the dark outline of him. This is it, she thinks, ring cold around her finger. This could be her forever.
And it comes unbidden, as these things usually do, a memory of another cave made of stone. Bodies decaying for centuries. Kate gasps, and tosses the sheet away from their heads so she can breathe cool air.
She'd never wanted to be Eve.
