FLAT CATS (2/2) By Sue Esty (AKA Windsinger) 1/1/96 (revised 2/20/97) Chapter 2 By the time they reached the golden main entrance of their hotel, Dana knew Mulder had pushed himself too far. There was darkness about this eyes, a grey tone to his skin despite his weak smile. In her preoccupation with their silly comments and exuberant caperings of the evening, content to see the appraising flow of his eyes across her form in its rented finery, Dana had forgotten his exhaustion at the airport. Here was the Mulder who had not had a decent night's sleep for days and she had been selfish wanting the night to go on and on. His eyes had begun to lose their luster two hours before but Dana had chosen not to interpret that signal and he had not wanted to spoil her fun by calling it a night before she was ready. Mulder was like a candle with a low wick - he still burned brightly, but every once in a while his flame sputtered. It was doing that now as he stood swaying beside the control panel in the elevator car trying to remember their floor. He barely made it to her door.
