For Luke, it hasn't been long. And even though it's been so very, very long for Cal, it's surprisingly easy to just fall back to this. His hands settle on the small of Luke's back as he leans down to meet him, and ...
He can't believe they're so lucky. He's not sure how it is that what everyone always said would happen didn't, and that they could reunite, even if he had to wait for almost twenty years. It's not impossibly lucky, because he can't imagine they wouldn't ever meet even if they'd forgotten, and he's not sure he could imagine not falling for Luke all over again.
But they get to remember. And for all that Duplicity was a miserable place, they got to have a kind of life that he doesn't think will be possible here, for a little bit, and they get to remember it. He'll treasure that forever.
He could burst with the happiness swelling in his chest.
