Crowley swallows a traitorous lump in his throat when Aziraphale says change. Things could change.
Things could absolutely change.
But did Aziraphale mean the kind of change that Crowley had harboured a-not-so-secret desire for? Or just, maybe see each other more often? Not have to pretend they don't know each other?
Could he just ask? Should he just ask?
Maybe, whenever this had passed. It's not something that should be talked about when they're under this much stress, he's sure.
"We could. All sorts of nice places. Anywhere in particular in mind or maybe just hop on a plane and just. Go wherever?"
