Summary
After a long day and a longer silence, Bond sends a late message. What follows isn’t a breakdown or a confession — just quiet truths spoken aloud. In Q’s flat, with the lights low and the music soft, Bond makes space for rest. And for trust. Maybe even sleep.
------
“If you ever do run — really run — and it’s me you’re leaving... tell me. Don’t vanish and leave me wondering.”
The quiet that followed wasn’t heavy. It settled.“I will,” Bond said, low but certain.
Then:
“Lately, I find myself running to you. Not away.”Series
