Word Count: 270
Summary: When she was younger, she always dismissed it as déjà vu.
When she was younger, she always dismissed it as déjà vu. The sneaking suspicion that she’s been somewhere or done something before is a feeling everyone goes through, and it’s easy to just brush it away as being paranoid about things, or not remembering things properly.
Once Carter comes into her life, all of that changes. He touches her shoulder and some part of her, a part of her that she doesn’t want to acknowledge or remember responds. More than two hundred lifetimes of being partners, friends, pushing at the back of her memory and telling her how she should feel. She doesn’t want to know all the ways she could feel, or did feel. She’s too busy trying to figure out the here and now to worry about the past.
And Carter understands that. Sometimes. A good … thirty five percent of the time.
What she doesn’t expect is the absence that comes in the after. The parts of her that had gotten used to him, used to them and the feelings that had stopped being past and become prologue instead. That there is a part of her who needs him to discover who she is and what she’s meant to do, and now she’s flying blind, without any kind of roadmap.
She’s at the start of something, but doesn’t know which step to take. Instead of laying there wondering, she takes a deep breath, points herself forward, and hopefully she takes steps in the right direction. She doesn’t need Carter to do this – the signs have been there all along. All she has to do is follow them.
