Synopsis: One is loneliness incarnate. The
other has endured a sudden, painful loss. Neither of them sought
a
long-term relationship, or believed that they could have one to begin
with.
They weren't looking for anything permanent: a little company for
a
while, perhaps, or a brief bit of comfort, and nothing more. But
in
the midst of a stakeout, fate will intervene for them, and nothing will
become
something.
[A genuinely romantic (instead of mushy, I hope) piece. - Tom]
for sensuality,
brief strong language, fleeting violent action, and adult themes.
