Summary
The infamous sneeze sequence. Mark always held his finger aloft - 'Please hold' - and patiently reserved his blessings for after the final instance.
It happened once when they were fighting. In the space between the first and second sneeze, Gemma looked at him with red, swollen eyes; he looked at her and timidly raised a finger. She'd choke-sneeze-laughed and tipped her head against his shoulder. The wall between them crumbled. They folded into each other, all relief and sniffles. A return to closeness.
"I'm still mad at you," she said, into his chest.
"Oh, me too," he assured her.
But behind it, always - It's me, I'm here, I'm yours, I'm sorry.
or: Gemma tries to cope with the emptiness of the testing floor.
