Monique was tossing and turning in her bed. Kowalski once again came close to getting the boot because of his trusting her. Oh how she hated being rough under pressure. It came to the point where she couldn't sleep anymore and went to her open window to see the nightly sites.
Something seemed to shine in the night sky. It looked like a star, but it was moving. She didn't hear of any shooting ngôi sao trackings, but then she remembered that she heard on the news that Halley's Comet was supposed to lung lay, swing by.
As Monique felt the breeze from sticking her head out the window and watching the comet fly by, a voice in her head was telling her something.
I know bạn don't mean for him to get in trouble, but sooner hoặc later, Kowalski's going to have to choose between bạn and the team she thought to herself, don't make this decision difficult for him.
Monique put her head back inside and closed the window. She took out a suitcase and put what she might need in it, and anything smaller she might need, she put in her purse. The last thing she put in her suitcase was a framed picture of her and Kowalski sitting on a bench. Fortunately for her, she managed to keep herself from crying.
She left her apartment and looked over at the apartment the team stayed in. She didn't want to just leave Kowalski on the spot. She snuck in and found Kowalski's bedroom. She noticed that Kowalski was snoring, but that didn't bother her. As she came closer to him, she continued thinking that not only is he the reason she has to go, but he's the reason she doesn't want to go. As she finally reached his bedside, she held his hand, kissed his cheek, and told him I tình yêu you for what she believes might be the final time.
As she left and exited the building, she decided to look back at what she was leaving behind. As she looked back, she noticed someone was running in her direction. As she squinted a little, she was shocked as she recognized the person to be Kowalski. She walked over to him and as they reached each other, he was catching his breath.
"Wait, Monique," he almost shouted.
"Kowalski, how did bạn know where I was?"
"Did bạn really think I would be deeply asleep after the observation of Halley's Comet? I struggled to be in a deep sleep and when I heard and felt you, I knew I couldn't go back to sleep. The bigger các câu hỏi are why are bạn leaving and where are bạn going?"
"That's the thing. I don't know where I might end up. But as long as I'm no longer here, bạn have no trouble to worry about."
Kowalski seemed puzzled, but was upset as he came to realization that skipper's strict attitude got to her.
"Monique, do bạn understand that I'll feel horrible if bạn go? You're important to me."
"So is the team. Kowalski, as skipper's distrust in me increases, so is his distrust in you. Sooner hoặc later, you'll end up needing to choose between me hoặc the team and my leaving will make it easier for you. Believe me, it'll almost be like getting another chance to live on my own."
Kowalski took in what she told him and a tear came out of his eye. Just then, he had an idea.
"Well, I'm going with you," Kowalski concluded while grabbing her hand.
Monique was shocked when she heard that. She didn't want to be selfish.
"Kowalski, the team needs bạn as much as bạn need them," she responded.
"The only one who would really notice and care is Private. Skipper just wants me to decrease my intellect due to a few mishaps and Rico is a bystander that goes along with authority. I need another chance to feel like my intellect isn't a curse, plus I'll still be with you," he explained.
Monique looked down at the hand Kowalski grabbed on to and realized that there shouldn't be any arguing with him. She just gave a sigh.
"You really want to leave with me?" She wanted to be sure.
"More than anything," he responded.
Monique closes her hand around Kowalski's and they both looked back, silently saying good bye to what they were leaving behind. As they were walking away, all that was on their minds was that is was a mystery what this một giây chance will bring to them.
