Mulder placed the CD into the player and waited. He noticed the picture
frames were moved; some had fingerprint smudges on them, blurring his
images.

Strains of 'At Last' sang into the air.

"My favourite!" Scully exclaimed.

He smiled. "May I?"

He clasped her hand close, swaying, following her.

"It was late that night." Her face scrunched up and then settled serenely
into a smile. "I didn't think I left."

"You never did."

Too soon, the music ended. She lifted her head from his shoulder.

"Thank you." Her hand touched his face. "What is your name?"

"Mulder."

They sat and chatted. When he felt her body slumped at his side, he
carried her sleeping body to her bed.

"Happy birthday, Scully." He kissed the corner of her lips and left.

Outside, his grandson reached for his arm and asked. "Did she remember
anything?"

"She remembered the song." Mulder said misty-eyed. "We had our first dance
again."
