“Shadows can’t hurt you.”

“But what?”

Lacey’s eyes filled. “You won’t always be there for me, Scully. What will I do then?”

The question suddenly more than he could bear, Scully drew Lacey close. She trembled as he stroked her hair and said, “Who said I wouldn’t always be there for you? I expect to be around as long as you need me.”
