After the reception John had driven Olivia home and she had asked him if he wanted to come up so he could just talk and let it go. He had accepted and now he was sitting on her couch.

"I can't believe he's gone. Why did this happen? He was a good man, he had a family!" John said standing up quickly and walking over the window, trying to calm himself down. Olivia walked behind him and rubbed his back gently.

"I know John. It isn't fair"

"Why couldn't have been me in that store instead of him? What do I have? All I have is the job. Nobody needs me" John said as he sighed and leaned his arm against the glass of the window his forehead on his arm.

"That's not true John. The hundreds of women and children that you've helped, they all need you. Fin needs you. The squad needs you" Olivia said turning to face him.

"Fin doesn't need me he can easily find another partner"

"What about me, John? I need you" Olivia said stepping closer to him. John turned to her and ran his hand through her hair and leaning down he kissed her gently and she kissed him back. When they pulled apart they left their foreheads touching John whispered

"I need you too" John had found what he needed to live for.
