Patrick and Teresa sat, sipping their tea and coffee in the CBI kitchen.
"Why are you leaving, Jane? I already lost you once...I don't want that to happen again." Lisbon's throat tightened. Patrick reached for her hand.
"I need some time off." he stood, and helped Lisbon stand too. "Now that Red John is dead."
"We did it, didn't we, Patrick?" Lisbon near-whispered, amazed that this was finally over.
Jane nodded agreeably, then continued, "Don't worry, Teresa. I'll be back…" he kissed her cheek, then turned and left, leaving Lisbon standing there.
"Jane kissed a girl..." Lisbon whispered, remembering the first time she had said that. And once again, Teresa was wonderstruck by the extraordinary Patrick Jane.
