Title: Someday
Summary: Stella finds a note.
Spoilers: Technically, for 7x01. But I'm not sure I'd call it a spoiler at this point because everyone and their mother has known for over a month.


She didn't find the note until she was half way through unpacking in her new city. He managed to slip it into a box of kitchen supplies somehow. She remembered the day he'd been over to help her pack. They hadn't talked much that day, simply working in tandem silence.

She knew he didn't want her to go. He knew he couldn't make her stay. Their final standoff would be the only one that really mattered in the end.

"When you're ready to stop running, I'll be here."

A tear slid down her cheek as she refolded the paper.

Someday.
