In the evening Sue was sitting musing on the couch in her living room. This morning, in the hallway Jack was about to tell her something, which seemed to be important, but Myles came and spoiled everything. What could Jack want to say? Maybe that he loves me? Sue, forget this stupid idea! How could a man like Jack love you? But he said he would miss me…and there were tears in his eyes when he learnt I would leave the team… and it didn't seem that it was because something went into his eyes. She was relieved when she decided not to go to New York. She got a great opportunity, which would have undoubtedly been a great leap forward in her career, but she loved her job in Washington, her friends were here… as well as the love of her life… Even if he most probably doesn't feel the same way. She held the bitter tears back. This love will remain unrequited. Jack deserves someone better than I am. If I really love him, I have to let him go... before he could be mine.
Jack was laying on his bed, thinking of the events of the morning. Sue remains in Washington. The woman, who is more important for me than anyone else, stays with me. I am so happy… Even if she only considers me a friend. I have just gathered enough courage to tell her how I feel, and Myles had to come just then… In that moment he really hated his colleague.
He decided to fight for Sue, that he will let her know he has been in love with her for years. How would he do this? He still has to find a way for this, but he was sure that eventually he would successfully accomplish this.
After it became clear for Jack that Sue was staying, the team celebrated this joyful event, and then, since they didn't get a new case, they continued paperwork. Sue and Jack didn't finish the conversation they started in the morning, although both of them wanted to do so.
But I have to tell her that I love her, no matter what. I can't endure much longer without doing so.
