Challenge

 
Doggett was cleaning up the mess he had made of Mulder's 
apartment in his zeal to find the truth.  Everything had to 
be put back where it belonged so Scully wouldn't notice and 
ask questions he couldn't answer. 
 
He found the open notebook in a pile in Mulder's bedroom.  
He would have minded his own business, except he recognized 
the handwriting.  It wasn't Mulder's. 
 
Unable to resist, he sat and read each page.  He read the 
words of a frightened, dying woman coming to terms with 
what was happening to her and trying to be brave enough to  
let go.  He read the words of a woman in love, but unable 
to express it...a woman still in love.  He read the words 
meant for Mulder years ago.  Did Mulder understand?  Did 
she ever really tell him? 
 
With new understanding, Doggett put the book in the bedside 
table for Mulder to find again when he returned.
