    Summary

    What if Mulder actually tried to have a normal life—and what would it cost him?

    Six years into their partnership, Mulder learns the truth: Samantha died in 1979. With the X-Files closed and his life's purpose destroyed, he retreats into the promise of normalcy—and into the arms of Lily Davis, a high school English teacher who laughs at his jokes and doesn't remind him of everything he's lost.
