It's the most natural thing in the world to slide closer to Mulder, her gaze rising to meet his, her hand set on his bare chest in a way that feels slightly possessive. Surely, it will stop feeling like such a novelty, to be able to touch him, but she intends to enjoy it thoroughly for the moment.
"We moved to Craiger that summer-- some special assignment they needed my father for. Melissa found Beyond Beyond, of course, but we'd go together, practically every day." She smiles at the memory, soft but faintly pained; it's hard not to feel that way when she thinks of her big sister, all the more when she thinks of that time in their lives.
"Carinda-- I think she genuinely believed in that kind of thing, and meant well." It's taken her a long time to come around to feeling that way; it had been easier at the time to brand her a liar, to blame her for some of what happened. "But Sunlight-- Mulder, he was a psychopath. He was using the store to try and build a cult, and killing anyone who had second thoughts."
