Why I'm reccing this fic:

There's so much packed into this short story, yet it never feels crowded and it flows beautifully. I love the use of Stella here, her 'outsider!pov' into this relationship, and how she is a completely human and real character here. Contrasted to this is the development of the Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio relationship. Wonderful and rich.

Ray Vecchio takes a cab. She could have gotten up early and driven him the hour to Miami-Dade. Stella could have chosen to make the effort, given him one last gesture. But they've had eight months; only the first four were something worth reminiscing over.

She should have known better, seen the ways that Ray and Ray (one Ray, two Ray, old Ray, new Ray) were the same underneath. She marries men addicted to things hidden, and is too old this time for farewells.

So she stays in bed until the door clicks shut, and then makes too much coffee.
