Conversations continue after they should have ended and brief moments of closeness become harder to dismiss. Severus keeps his past guarded and trust does not come easily to him. Getting close means accepting that some questions will remain unanswered. When old dangers begin to surface again the fragile connection between you is tested before either of you has decided what it truly means.

Tom follows Charlie to her sleepy, bayfront hometown and their worlds collide.
