[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.]

[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?

[coppelganger]

[she just nods]

[doubleblind]

... Okay.

[coppelganger]

I'm just... so tired. And Sam's gone, and Helena's gone. And Ramona's pissed at me, and I threatened Roxie.

[doubleblind]

You've still got me. And Alison. Ramona and Roxie will come around too.

[coppelganger]

I know.

[doubleblind]

I'll even let you borrow Ruby and Darwin. They're very good at cheering up sad clones.

[coppelganger]

You want me to borrow your girlfriend?

[doubleblind]

For entirely innocent activities, sure.

[coppelganger]

Thanks.

[taking a deep breath]

[doubleblind]

We'll do a movie night. You'll sit in the middle.

[coppelganger]

What movie?

[doubleblind]

Anything you want.

[coppelganger]

Don't baby me.

[doubleblind]

... Lord of the Rings?

[coppelganger]

Not a chance.

[doubleblind]

Oh, come on. It'll be perfect. I'll enjoy them and you and Ruby can complain about the, but secretly think it's adorable how excited I am. Ruby has a thing for my nerdiness. Everyone wins.

[coppelganger]

"Don't baby me" doesn't mean "ignore my movie preferences," Cos.

[doubleblind]

... Sorry, I overreached.

[coppelganger]

S'fine.

[rolling onto her side]

You wouldn't be you if you weren't overreaching.
