    Summary

    Teddy's left in Brussels to sort this mess out and it takes several days. What he discovers follows him home and potentially threatens Myfanwy, so despite not having slept for days, he goes into protect-mode. But NewMyf may not necessarily need that from Gestalt anymore -- or at least less than she did when she was OldMyf.

    ---

    Thousands of memories flash by: near misses, just-abouts, soooooo closes, with each body, but more often than not with Teddy, and then the one incredible moment when she was mine – and the torturous week following where it was clear she was not.

    Her hair is up against Teddy’s cheek and her full weight is against him. Robert is speeding back to the flat, trying to get someplace safe. She looks up at me, eyes full of conflicting emotions, lips and chin trembling. “I don’t think you could have expected that, Gestalt – I don’t think you screwed up.” She swallows and sniffs. “You’re allowed to be… to be a person…and have dates and let your guard down for one second.”
