What was she supposed to do? Mike had chosen the damn boat over her AGAIN. He happily told the BRASS he accepted without consulting Kate. He made the decision to be out at sea again, Kate wouldn't go through the heartact again she couldn't.

He made his decision so she made hers.

He left moved out into a small apartment close to the Navy base, Kate couldn't bare to see him knowing the choice he made.
