He would call her Laura and she would feel less like a monster. The clothes with the bloodstains would go to the wash and she would start anew again

[He'd been reading. Nothing too heavy, just a baseball mag. He hadn't been expecting anyone, so when the door opens he jumps. He's almost prepped for an attack, but then he sees her, and...

it all drains away. He stands at a loss. She's the last person he'd expected to see. But there's a smile creeping onto his face.]

Hey.

...Laura. You good?

[Thank God. Something in his shoulders relaxes]

Good. Really good. I mean, I know, the missions are important to you. Hell I wish I were out there with you, but...

I'm glad you're back.
