---

So this is the taste of sweet and hard fought victory. The kiss before was not like how he holds me now, warm and close, surrendering ourselves to our Truth. How long have I loved you? How long have we both denied that we belonged together? Why did it take our precious gift to each other to reunite us? Why has it taken so long for him to see what we both could not face?

I love you, Fox, and I know, while our tongues dance to our inner music, that you feel the same. May this kiss last forever.

Dulcius ex asperis is Latin for through difficulty, sweetness. Many episodes of the X-files have Latin titles...

Many thanks to Trekqueen who helped me untangling the Dunglish.
