Noel knew what he had to do. He had to leave Seattle. Roz didn't love him, and he was only fooling himself for believing that he had a chance with her. She'd been kind to him, but who wouldn't be kind to a stray puppy? That's what he was, wasn't he? He didn't fit in at the station, who was he kidding. Even Shatner had a restraining order against him, so even if he should appear in Seattle for a convention, a premiere, or a commercial he couldn't go near him. What was left for him, just a broken heart?

So Noel packed his bags and left a card on Roz's desk before he left town. She wouldn't be in the office yet, so he had time to do what he wanted to do. What he needed to do, rather. She just didn't have any feelings for him. Who could blame her? She was a Venus, he was, well, he was Noel. So he headed to the airport and started his check in for his baggage.

Roz was awakened from her slumber by a call from Kenny. "Noel's gone!" he cried out in a panic.

"What are you talking about?"

"Noel. He's quit. He's taking off from Seattle. My family at home is broken, now my family at the workplace is broken too.":

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly it dawned on her. She'd been pretty harsh with Noel, but she couldn't be the reason he was leaving, could she? Was it possible for a man to love her so much that he'd throw his life away just because he couldn't have her? There was something a little romantic about that actually.

She hung up the phone and tossed on some clothing. If she knew Noel he would probably be headed to Scotland, home of the fictional Scotty from Star Trek. She had to get to the airport fast!

Why her, she thought as she drove to the airport. Why did he have to love her? She hadn't done anything to warrant his love, and she certainly had discouraged his affections over the years. She didn't know why she pushed him away the way she had. After all, he'd saved Alice's life! He was thoughtful, always leaving her little tokens of his affections. When was the last time she'd been pursued that way?

All she could think of was when she got to the airport was that hopefully it wasn't too late. Noel may not have been the model type she liked to date, but he loved Alice, and he loved her, so how could she be so blind as to throw that away?
