    Summary

    “M said you sold my flat,” said Bond in the same tone.

    “I didn’t,” sighed Q. “I told them I leased it out. It’s more or less as you left it, I have someone in to clean once a month so it doesn’t get too dusty.”

    “Why tell them anything?”

    “Because in order to pass my most recent psych evaluation, I had to show progress on ‘accepting that my estranged husband was not coming back from the dead’,” said Q tightly.

    Bond finally looked at Q, “The divorce wasn’t finalized,” he said.

    “You were missing, presumed dead,” said Q. He continued to stare at the painting in front of them. “It was considered moot. I’ve been a widower for nearly a year while you were off working on your tan.”

    Summary

    “I wrote you letters, you know. During the years that you were gone. At first it was because I thought you were coming back.”
    Bond was silent. He stood there, in the dark by Q's kitchen table, just watching. What else was there to say?
    “I don’t know when I realized you weren’t.” Q’s eyes were covered in shadow as he leaned on the kitchen counter, staring. Bond was distinctly happy that he couldn’t see them. “I kept writing them though.” Q gave out a dark laugh.

     

    Q didn't realize Bond wasn't coming back when he took the car, and writing letters soon became a habit. Five years later Bond is left with a lot of history to catch up on.
