Fox Mulder felt a lone tear trickle down his cheek and warm his cold skin. The love of his life was going to Maryland to go to collage. He didn't blame her there was a wonderful school there and she was going to study medicine. She would be coming back in a few years... but that was a few years too many. He pressed his nose to the glass and pressed his hand to the glass beside his head. Dana put her hand up to the glass mirroring his own and pressed her face against the glass as well. The only thing separating them now was the glass. The last call for her flight was called just then and she reluctantly removed herself from the glass to walk to her plane. He followed her down the glass as far as he could and when he could go no farther he just stood and waved. He watched as her plane took off and kept his eyes on it until he could no longer see it. Even then, he kept waving. He waved and waved until his arm was sore, and even then, he kept waving. The soreness of his arm numbed the soreness of his heart. He felt like his heart was flying away in that plane... and in a way... it was.
