Fics like don't wait for me (i can't come)

The first time Grace touches her, he doesn’t mean to. His hand brushes against hers in the table, lost in the sea on papers and screens. He apologizes immediately, of course, he is nothing but proper and cautious in his ways. She lets it slide, lost in the moment, paying no attention to it. Nothing is more important than the mission. Later at night, she cannot sleep. (His hand was warm. His hand was warm and hers was cold and maybe it is a metaphor of something bigger than both of them. Maybe it is a sign, an augury. She tries not to dwell too much in the impossibles, after all, she is a pragmatic person. But Ryland Grace makes her a careless woman, a hopeful woman. He makes her someone she is not, someone she must never be. And that is how a revelation is born, lost in the mundane.)
