[late that night, after all the drama with the cure, Sarah knocks lightly (so lightly, like part of her is hoping that Cosima won't hear it) on the door to Cosima's room. she still looks exhausted and now, additionally, it's obvious that she's been crying. so that's pitiful.]

[shakes her head]

My schedule's pretty clear.

[coppelganger]

I'll eat tomorrow.

[doubleblind]

Good plan. I can get Alison to leave you leftovers to wake up to.

[coppelganger]

Please don't.

[heading over to the bed]

[doubleblind]

[following]

What? You gonna leave the cooking to me?

[coppelganger]

I don't want either of you cooking for me. You've both done enough.

[doubleblind]

You would've done the exact same thing if it had hit one of us.

[coppelganger]

That doesn't change anything.

[doubleblind]

It means I don't want you beating yourself up over this.

[coppelganger]

[well, there's no way that's not going to happen]

Just don't cook for me. I'll handle it myself tomorrow.

[she curls up on the bed]

[doubleblind]

... Okay. If that's what you want.

[curls up around her. look you get to be the small spoon this time.]

[coppelganger]

[just lying there sort of stiffly, not saying anything]

[doubleblind]

[taking her hand]

Want me to read to you?

[coppelganger]

If you want.

[doubleblind]

Will it help you sleep?

[coppelganger]

... Yeah. Maybe.

[doubleblind]

Be happy I made a trip to the library this week.

[sifting through a stack of books on her nightstand]

[coppelganger]

[rolling onto her back]

[doubleblind]

[hope you like this super nerdy scifi novel]

[coppelganger]

[normally she would pass out in about two seconds, but tonight she's just going to lie there and cry and hope cosima doesn't notice it]

[doubleblind]

[she totally notices and hugs her tight while continuing to read to her]

[coppelganger]

[god, that just makes it worse]

[doubleblind]

[but it's supposed to make you feel better :(]

... Sarah.

[coppelganger]

I'm okay.

[wiping at her face]

[doubleblind]

Should I pretend to buy that?
