"That is a very long and complicated story," Michael made note of the wedding ring on Peggy's finger.

The shock that courses through her is is cold, electrifyingly so. For a moment she feels as if she's dreaming. Years -- it's been years. More than that, he'd been...dead. Or -- he'd been presumed dead. She remembers the day her mother had received the letter.

Yet here he is, standing in her office. Years of espionage have made her suspicious, but she wants to believe that it really is him. He looks older -- a decade, at least. She knows that stranger things have happened, but...

She blinks back tears, her throat thick. She reaches out a hand, but it falls before she reaches him. "Michael -- what are you...how are you alive?"

"Fair enough, how would you like me to prove I am who I say I am?"
