Summary: Sound and communication.
The thrum of the engines is as soothing as Hoshi's soft breath against his skin.
They lie as if in sleep, eyes closed. When she speaks, the reverberations of it travel in the empty space, molecules moving, rearranging, falling back into place.
"I love you, Malcolm."
In her voice the nuance of meaning shifts like the hues of iridescence. Trust, desire, companionship--they all shimmer in his ears and reach down deep to a place of absolutes where they are stripped of rank, stripped of doubt, stripped of all objection.
All that's left is the sound of two hearts beating.
End.
