Don't wish,
Don't start,
Wishing only
Wounds the heart.
There's a girl I know,
He loves her so—
I'm not that girl
-Schwartz from "Wicked"
Elena hadn't spoken to Dom since she had taken Jack to a safe house and learned from Hobbs that everyone was safe and sound, mission accomplished. She was glad the good guys had won and that Jack would grow up with his mother. It had horrified her that Shaw had sent his lackeys to kidnap Mia in the first place. Then she had learned that Letty would be returning with them all, making her realize that whatever she had in the past several months was now over.
The petite blonde was both sad and happy. She loved Dom but knew that his first love mattered most to him.
She also didn't want to stay around and make him have to choose.
Hobbs took the empty seat across from her on the plane ride to LA.
"I've spoken to the Director and he pulled strings with Immigration. You'll be a citizen next week and an official DSS Special Agent soon thereafter," he told her.
"Thank you," she replied, her mind awash with numerous thoughts.
"Least I could do," he grinned. "After all, I'd have never tracked down Dom to get his help without you."
She figured she wasn't meant for a peaceful, carefree life in the Canary Islands. Law Enforcement was her destiny, perhaps she had to still honor her fallen husbands memory.
