IN SERENITY:
Once he’d finished waxing poetical – among other “tasks” – Wash told Zoe “Close your eyes.

“Why?” Zoe asked, her breathing already regular again.

Simply amazing woman. “If you don’t want it, I can always give your present to…oh I don’t know, maybe Kaylee.” It’d be a solidly bad fit – and he’d be living in the cargo hold, if he was lucky.

“Hm,” Zoe said, lightly closing her eyes. When Wash rolled off the bed, “Honey?”

“I’m okay. Just…” seeing again if I could make it as a soldier; “…getting your present out. Pulling it from under the bed, he held it in both hands as he knelt alongside their bed. “You can look.”

“Sweetie, you didn’t have to get me that,” Zoe said, eyes open.

“Just a thought, you might wanna open the box.”

“There’s more?”

“In this case, yeah.”

Opening the box, her eyes went wide.

“Just – one thing,” Wash added.

“What’s that?” Zoe asked.

“Don’t fiddle with the waistband.”

“And why’s that?”

“It’s…just…it’s a bad idea.”
