This is so wonderful! I love the atmosphere of it, where it's the end of the world and everything is hella creepy and awful, but on a different more personal level they've also built this whole family thing in the middle of it and there's just this great sense of intimacy and, like, comfort with each other. And I really enjoyed the first scene in the kitchen, with everybody reacting to delicious preservative-laden snack food, and how much it said about everyone. Also, T: cutest thing ever!
And of course their conversation is perfect, and I really just enjoy being able to read about them talking to each other without having it be caught up so heavily in deception or professionalism or anger.
One of these days, he decides, he’s going to kiss her. Before he leaves again. That way, he’ll have the memory to carry around with him, even if he doesn’t make it back. Her shoulder rests against his now. It feels good after so many years of staying carefully apart. Ah, and that's just beautiful.
