summary: 100-word ficlet, post S4 finale.

He likes to think that this is forever, with the sound
of the sea in his ears echoing just below the voice of
his beloved. But reality sets in and he knows that there
is no forever, especially when one is at a calm. He
learned that in his brief respites from the Chair, when
the absence of feeling, the numbness, was the sweetest
taste there was.

He is content, with her eyes so the color of the sea as
they were.

And so John Crichton waits for forever to end, dreading
and anticipating it, because it will soon come.
