"The way she babbled on about the place made it seem like some sort of promise land, but James knew full well that is was nothing of the sort. Sowsworth was a wasteland that comprised of seven shops, a pub, and the incredibly bored shadows of lonely people. It was not bloody Shangri-la." AU.

"'I've come so close,' he says, just barely above a whisper as he sinks to his knees and rests his head in her lap. His hands are clutching hers now. 'To death' she chokes out.
