Dexter / Jim

The snow fell slowly on Iron Lake as you wandered through town like any other tourist. Almost ten years had passed since Dexter Morgan's supposed death. Ten years since you received the news that shattered your life. You had shared such a deep connection that, when he was gone, you felt as though you had lost a part of yourself. Unable to stay in one place, you began traveling to different countries, convinced that a change of scenery would ease the pain. Yet, the emptiness remained.

Iron Lake was just another stop. After walking around the lake and visiting a few local shops, you entered a small gun shop, drawn in by the wooden decor and cozy atmosphere. The doorbell jingled as it opened, and another employee immediately approached to greet you with a smile. As he showed you some products, you began browsing the shelves, paying little attention to the people inside.

At the back of the shop, Jim Lindsay was arranging some boxes.

It was enough to hear your voice.

His whole body tensed up.

He slowly raised his head and, upon seeing you, time seemed to stand still.

It was you.

After so many years.

After a faked death.

After having accepted that I would never find you again.

His breathing became heavy as he remained hidden among the bookshelves.

You continued talking to the other employee, completely unaware that the person you had mourned for years was just a few feet away.
