Spoilers/Warnings Highly spoilery for 1.24. In fact, I'll put the title under the cut, too.

"Call him. Today."

Laura smiles. "Yes, ma'am."

As final words go, they're ones she likes to hear, even if she knows how…empty Laura's obedience is, how shallow.

She watches Laura walk away, noting the way the sunlight finds color in the sleek fall of hair, the graceful swing of Laura's body.

Laura's going to her death smiling, anticipating that call, the subtle flirtation to follow.

Some might see that as a kindness.

Or not.

So much is going to be lost with a twist of the wrist, the turn of a key.

Now, there'll be a little bit more.

Oh, I wish she hadn't died. It would have been great to see some of this woman you reveal on screen. Great drabble.
