Why? Because it's not easy. It's not clean. It's not simple. Nothing gets wrapped up in 44 minutes. Our heroes don't end up looking too damned heroic.
I think what this story exemplifies how little you can actually know about someone you love, and it reinforces the old adage that says, "Where ever you go, there you are." Wherever Scully goes, it seems, she's there, too.
And how gorgeous is this: ............ She was grinning at her own cruelty.
"You probably scarred him for life!" Jules snickered.
I watched Dana's face shift suddenly, like it was trying to rearrange itself but was missing a piece. She was still smiling, but her eyes didn't belong to the grin.
"Yeah, I probably did."
She looked ready to cry, but it had gotten dark, and I think I was the only one who noticed. ............

Regrets? She's got a few.
Anyway, great story. :D
