I like this very much----how conflicted Diana is, how her love for Mulder and her belief that she's protecting him have slowly corrupted her, and how aware of that she is. I like the way that Diana turns out to be the real captive in this scene, not Mulder--if that makes any sense. She's the one being held against her will, or at least against her better nature.
Your writing is always so evocative--rich and terse at the same time. I love how the past, present and future intersect here in deja vu and fantasy and regret and might-have-beens. I agree with all the things Vanzetti said, too. Particularly about Diana being so aware of the realities--even as she gives in to the fantasy.
And since I've been remiss about sending feedback for way too long, let me add that I liked everything about the little story you posted at the Harem some time ago, with Mulder at the bar. The "Diamonds" story. It was a gentle and sharp and funny sketch of Mulder in his triangular predicament. :)
