*Luke nods and he finds he doesn't even have to think about it.* Yeah, I love you, too.
*gives her a sideways smile* Why else would I bring you here and put up with all the questions about some cop from the future being in the 21st century?

:::Cora smiled with reliefe as he said it back, and a few lingering tears fell past... she looked up at him again as he made to tease her, but she realized that there might be genuine concern behind it:::
... do you think... they suspect?

*To be perfectly honest. Luke gives a sigh.* That you're from the Brink? Nah. ... Maybe that you're not from Canada.

:::She nods slowly... if any such thing was discovered in her own time, she'd have expected a swift execution... was it the same here?:::
Would you be in trouble if they found out?

*Luke stares at the ceiling, a worried expression on his face, but ... he managed a shrug.* Nothing I couldn't talk my way out of.

You shouldn't risk it... if it's going to cause problems, Luke.

*He smirks. Yeah, wouldn't want any of those around.*
It's a little late to take it back now. *He hates thinking about it, but still finds the need to reassure her.* I'm not gonna ******** worry about it. I'll figure it out when I get to it.

:::Cora sniffles one last time, wipes some stray tears from the corner of her eyes, then replaces her hand back around Luke:::
...good. Because I promised Aimee I'd let her take me to get highlights next time I dropped in. And I'd hate to disappoint her.

*Luke laughs against a closed mouth. Though he can't say he's surprised.* Highlights... Woman thinks she's the whole world's fashion consultant.

*Luke takes a deep breath and explains what highlights are. The two of them talk a little more, until Luke starts to feel his eyelids droop. He's been quiet for a few minutes now, slowly falling asleep.*

:::Cora too is on the verge of falling asleep now... but perhaps a step behind Luke. She notices that he's quiet now, and decides that it's time they both fell asleep... regardless of how much she desperately didn't want to. She was afraid that if she closed her eyes, it might all disappear, and she'd wake up all alone again. But it was unavoidable...
She kissed him once more below his chin, unable to reach any further, exhaustion's pull on her getting stronger, and shortly thereafter, Cora was asleep:::

*By the time Cora kissed his chin, Luke's passed out.*
*Some hours later, Luke starts to jerk lightly in his sleep. Though his eyes are closed, he murmurs.* No... *His breathing becomes rushed and shudders in time with his chest. Sweat prickles his forehead and his face contorts.*

:::Cora stirs when she feels Luke jerking next to her... but she becomes fully awake when she hears mumbling and the sound of his breathe. At first she's not sure what's going on... she's not even sure it was actually happening. Perhaps she just thought she saw him tossing a moment ago?
But as it picked up and he continued again, she realized it wasn't her imagination and Cora sat up, looking over him:::
Luke...
:::She didn't like what was going on, and she put one hand to his shoulder, nudging him:::
Luke...?

*When Cora touches his shoulder, Luke thrashes in his sleep, caught up in his nightmare. He repeats, even more panicked.* No!
