Summary
“I might have a proposition for you, Kennedy,” Ada says, a playful glint in her eyes. "A night out. Just you and me, enjoying all that this fine city has to offer."
“A night out,” Leon echoes, somewhat dumbly. “Because our last one ended so well.”
"Let me make it up to you then,” she says, inching ever closer to him. “You’ve always loved a good redemption, haven’t you?"
(Or: On the brink of a new year, Leon and Ada attempt to go on a real date. Like normal people do.)

“Am I supposed to just wait around for you then?”
Ada can see it so clearly in that moment, every question he has ever thought of but never voiced aloud, all rushing to the surface at once, all screaming the one fact she was too blind—willfully or otherwise—to face: that these mortal attachments, these petty sentimentalities other people indulge in and she scoffs at, they were always meant to lead toward a particular destination. The strings bound both ways, and the carousel never did quite spin endlessly.
Would that she had the answer Leon wanted to hear.
(Or: For Leon and Ada, what looks like the end is merely the beginning. Sometimes, in order to fix something, you have to take it apart first.)

Ada makes a noncommittal humming noise. “Coincidences have been known to occur, when it comes to us.”
He raises an eyebrow. “Coincidence or calculation? Surely you don’t expect me to believe you just happened to be on the same train as my assignment.”
“Oh, are you on assignment, too?” Ada gasps in mock surprise, and immediately Leon knows he’s walked straight into her trap. “Now that’s a coincidence, if I’ve ever seen one.”
(Or: It takes years for Leon and Ada to establish a routine that will maintain their tenuous liaison. It will take them many more years to realize they want more out of it.)

"You always did have a habit of showing up uninvited, Ada," Leon mumbled.
"And you always had a habit of leaving the door open, Leon," Ada smirked.
