    “All day long I was preoccupied with your letters: in agony, in love, in worry, and in an entirely indefinite fear of the indefinite, which is indefinite mainly because it is infinitely beyond my strength.”

    Summary

    As the seasons turned to autumn, the days grew shorter and the night approached quicker, which meant it was probably for the better that she leave early, but Riza stayed because the paperwork never ended and there was no better excuse to steal a bit more time in the office after hours. After all, it would be suspicious for her to spend that much time with him otherwise.

    Eventually, after she had been staring at papers for so long that light and dark lines appeared in her vision when she closed her eyes, she lifted her head an inch and let her eyes stray toward the colonel.

    Colonel Mustang had his head resting in his hand, the other hand tilting his pen up so he could chew on the end and pen cap grazing his lower lip. He paused and looked up, eyes snagging on hers.

    Caught.

    Summary

    Roy pauses by a bench and grips one of its metal arms, leaning his weight on his right side. At the edge of the park he can see a telephone booth bathed under the light of a streetlamp. It’s right there. He could go in, for a moment. Make the call. How much worse could another bad decision make things?

    Would his Lieutenant be happy to hear from him?
    (Or, some time after Fuhrer Bradley takes everything away from him, Roy calls his Lieutenant.)

    Summary

    For the second time she locks eyes with the man in the coat.

    “What’s your name?” he asks her quietly.

    “I-,” she begins. Her pulse thunders against her temple. The man’s eyes bore into hers like he already knows the answer. So she gives it to him, because the realization is too heavy for her to carry alone.

    “I don’t remember.”

    The room goes deadly quiet.

    (Or, after a mission gone wrong, Riza wakes to find that her memories are gone. Her colleagues, best friend and her -surprisingly- very caring superior are there to offer help.)
