"Please, don't leave."
"Leonard, I can't stay, I'm sorry. I have to go." She wants to say more, wants to tell him how important he's become to her, but the words get stuck in her throat.
"Look, I get why you want to leave. Hell, I'd come with you if I could. But we need you, Sara. The team needs you."
"I just," her eyes are filling with tears, and she has to take a deep breath to prevent herself from breaking down. "My sister died, Leonard. And I ... I couldn't even make it to the funeral, because I was too busy travelling through time, chasing some evil immortal guy we probably won't ever defeat."
She leans against the wall, trying to find some way to stabilize herself. "I just need some time to figure it all out, okay?"
He understands. Of course he does, he knows all too well what having a sister is like, and he can't imagine ever losing her. He understands why Sara wants to leave, but he can't help but wish she'd stay. But he doesn't have the power to make her stay, so if she wants to leave, he'll let her.
She packs her bags the very same day and Rip drops her off in Star City, 2016. She says the team goodbye, a few hugs and condolences are exchanged before she arrives at Leonard.
"Come back."
She leans forward and kisses him on the cheek. "I will. I promise."
