The next two days consisted of Mindy buying supplies for Haiti and arranging what would happen to her apartment while she was away. She didn't like the idea of renting it out to some pervert or psycho so she thought it would be best to let Danny keep her keys and for the office to maintain it (she was their best doctor after all, it was the least they could do). The stress didn't die down though. She was constantly thinking about whether going to Haiti was the right thing. It was the biggest decision she was ever going to make and yes, the mother of the triplets said sometimes it is okay to say yes, yet Mindy felt like saying no. When she cut her hair for Casey, she was on a rush of adrenaline. She didn't realise the implications that could happen… the fact that she was actually leaving for Haiti. It seemed so surreal and then Danny had decided to mess her head up even more.

Mindy was getting ready for work on Tuesday morning, when Casey had hugged her from behind. She loved when he did that, which didn't help considering her situation with Danny.

'Hey babe! I've got some news.'

'Oh yeah? What is it?' She turned to face him and saw a guilty look.

'Well, I just found out that our flight is actually on the 3rd June, not 6th. So next Monday basically.'

Mindy glared at him. 'WHAT?'

'I'm sorry babe. When I called the airline they said it was the 6th but then when I checked our e-tickets it said the 3rd. I called them again and they said it was an error and that everyone on our flight is in the same position as us.'

'That's bullshit Casey. You really believe them? I can't believe this! And you tell me now?'

'Okay no need to swear Mindy. It is what it is; I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but I only found out yesterday and you were busy with stuff. I didn't expect it to be such a big deal, I mean it's only three days earlier, right?'

'Casey, whether it is one day earlier or a week earlier, it doesn't matter! You should have told me. You're lucky everything is close to being sorted out. Oh and I can swear if I like!' She went to grab her coat and scarf.

'Babe, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?' He did that adorable face where he put his bottom lip out with his puppy dog eyes.

Mindy couldn't help but forgive him. He was just an innocent minister who made mistakes, quite a lot in fact. But he was a person she could never hate.

'Yeah, I forgive you.' She headed towards the door.

'Can I have a kiss?' He walked towards her and took her hand to kiss it.

'No.' She walked out leaving him standing there, all alone.

She couldn't believe this. She was leaving in six days. It was as if the world was closing in on her. It was only three days earlier but she figured she had enough time to make a decision quickly. Now, it seemed like she was forced to go to Haiti. She was late for work as well, when she left it was 8:40am and she only had twenty minutes until work started. Danny was going to get annoyed.

Mindy entered the office and saw everyone preoccupied. Danny was at the reception desk, going through paperwork, Betsy was in a call, Tamra and Morgan were actually discussing work and Jeremy was probably in his office with a patient. She checked the time; 9:30am.

'Guys, I have an announcement.'

Everyone other than Danny was still occupied. She looked at Danny and saw his face in a worried expression. It was making her uncomfortable.

'GUYS! I have something to say.'

Jeremy had come out with his patient and said his goodbyes. He walked towards the desk while everyone turned to face Mindy.

'I'm leaving next Monday. It was supposed to be next Thursday but Casey was an idiot and found out yesterday that that was not the case.' She sighed. 'So that means my last day is Thursday… Betsy can you arrange all my patients after then to be covered by Danny or Jeremy?'

The next ten minutes revolved everyone hustling and bustling to accommodate Mindy's new schedule. Danny stood where he was, just staring at Mindy. She looked back at him, as if they had an unspoken conversation.

Danny couldn't believe it. Mindy was leaving in six days. She was leaving for good and he might not ever see her again. As they looked at each other, it was like the last time. He broke eye contact as he felt his head throbbing and retreated into his office, leaving Mindy staring after him.

He sat in his chair and contemplated his options. He had decided on the Friday when Mindy fainted that he couldn't fight for her anymore. He had caused her to be distraught which ultimately led her to be in danger. Danny couldn't deal with that again. But she was leaving. She was going to another country with her boyfriend that was the luckiest guy in the world. If he was never going to see her again, he had to do something. Have the perfect goodbye.

The rest of the day involved Mindy in her office the whole time. Danny took the opportunity to talk to Morgan and Betsy.

'Hey Dr. C. What's the deal?'

'I think we should throw a going away party for Mindy.'

'Err… Dr. C, no offence but you already threw one for her in your apartment remember?'

'I know, but look how that ended. She needs a proper goodbye, without any disaster. We should hold it in the office, so it's only us that are there. What do you think?'

'That's great idea!' Betsy squealed. 'Me and Morgan will arrange it.'

'No, I want to do it if that's okay. I just asked for your help.'

Morgan and Betsy gave each other a look.

'I shouldn't be saying this Dr. C as you are my boss but you are also my best friend. We know that you love Dr. L.'

Danny looked at both of them, nodding their heads. He could feel sweat entering his forehead.

'What? That's ridiculous.'

'You don't need to pretend Dr. Castellano! We've known for a long time.'

Danny shivered. Did everyone know?

'Yeah, I do.' He grimaced as he admitted his feelings for the first time. 'Please don't tell anyone.'

'You should tell her. Before she leaves.'

'I don't know, Morgan. She's head over heels in love with Casey. I don't want to get in the way of things.'

'But Dr. C! You never know, she might feel the same.'

'Look guys, I appreciate your concern but there's no point discussing this anymore. Let's just focus on the party okay?' He couldn't deal with this conversation anymore.

'Okay.'

The arrangements were under way. Morgan stood outside Mindy's door to make sure only patients entered and left. Betsy and Tamra placed the decorations around the office while Jeremy selected a Mindy playlist. Danny had gone out to buy a huge card for the office to write one and a separate card for him. He had also bought some gifts that he thought Mindy would like; a pink teddy bear (did he really know Mindy that well?), some bath oils (required assistance from an assistant) and One Direction's album (he had no idea what music she listened to other than Katy Perry hence also required assistance). It was a long and exhausting day.

Mindy went to open her door when she found Morgan outside.

'What's going on?'

'Dr. L! What are you doing out here?'

'Morgan, I do have the right to enter and leave my office whenever I want?'

'Oh yeah, you do. But you should go back inside.'

'Why? I'm done for the day. It's time I get home.'

'Just go back in, please! We're organising a surprise for you.'

Mindy laughed. 'Morgan, it's not a surprise if you tell me it's a surprise.'

'DAMN IT!' Morgan hit his forehead on the door. 'Just please go back in?'

'Well no, I mean I want to know what's going on!'

'Well Danny's not back yet so when he comes then you can come out okay?'

Mindy smiled at the thought of Danny being involved in her surprise. 'Okay then. I'll just go on Instagram.' She headed back into her room.

Danny arrived ten minutes later with a gifts and balloons. He smiled when he entered the break room. Everything was perfect. The refreshments were placed on the table; a huge banner saying 'We will miss you!' was placed by the window and everyone had party hats on. In Danny's mind, he would have hated this type of party but it was for Mindy. He would do anything for Mindy.

He wanted to be the one who brought Mindy into the room. So he headed towards her door and knocked. He entered anyway.

'Hey, Min. I've got a surprise for you.'

Mindy looked up and smiled. 'I know. Morgan told me.'

Danny stared back and prayed Morgan didn't say what he had admitted a few hours ago. 'He did?'

'Yeah. I'm coming.'

'Okay.'

Mindy walked towards him and linked her arm through his. He felt shivers as she touched him.

They entered the room and a huge smile crossed Mindy's face. Danny looked at her and smiled in response. It was the smile he would die to see every day. She looked at him and then to everyone else.

'Aww guys, thank you so much!' She went towards everyone and gave them hugs.

'Our pleasure, Dr. L! Dr. C organised it.' Betsy pointed towards Danny.

Danny put his hands in his pockets as a defence mechanism. 'Ahh it was nothing.'

'This doesn't look like nothing, Danny.' She walked towards him and hugged him for the longest. He took the time to smell her hair, the little that was left. He put his arms around her waist and felt everyone's eyes watching him. Danny tensed and let go.

'It's fine, Min. We all will miss you.' He smiled.

'Still, thank you again.' She kissed his cheek. He felt the touch of her kiss linger. The hairs on his skin rose and he gave a small smile.

Mindy turned towards the others. 'Let's get some music going!'

Jeremy pressed play on the CD player and One Direction started playing.

'I love One Direction! Thanks you guys.'

The party was a success. Mindy and the girls danced for the majority, with Jeremy and Morgan placing bets on how long Mindy would last in Haiti. Danny stood by the refrigerator and observed Mindy. He loved the way she presented her butt to everyone, as if trying to show off yet it backfired as everyone was used to this. He loved the way she screamed when a song she loved came on. The way she danced, the way she smiled, the way she looked at him. He could have been standing there watching her forever. And then it dawned on him. Thursday was the last day. What would he do with his life when she went? He didn't want to think. It was just too much for him.

Mindy and Danny were the last ones left. Morgan and Betsy felt the need to let Danny have his moment, hence forced everyone out with no explanations without Mindy realising herself. He started to clear up when he forgot about the cards.

'Min, here's the goodbye card from the office.'

'Thank you.' She opened it to find messages scrawled over everywhere. She laughed without even reading it.

'I'm going to miss you guys so much.' She felt a tear leaving her cheek.

'Hey, don't cry. You're going to Haiti with your boyfriend who loves you. You should be happy to be leaving us losers.'

'Don't say that, Danny. I love you guys.' She read through each message.

Hey Dr. L! It's me, Morgan in case you can't recognise the handwriting. I'm gonna miss you loads and I have been thinking of kidnapping you and taking you to Otisville but then I realised it is illegitimate (am I using that word right?) Anyway, I hope you have a great trip, come back soon. Bones and I will be waiting for you! Xxx (I always see crosses after letters but I don't know what it means, I hope I've used it correctly).

Dr. L! I'm going to miss you a lot. You're my best friend here! Who do I share my lunch with now? I know Morgan is next in line but I'm quite reluctant on that. I hope you come soon, we're all waiting for you! Love Betsy xxxxxxxxxx

Hey, Mindy. It's Jeremy here. Of course you'd know that because my writing is the best. I will miss you, I'm afraid to admit. We've had some good memories, you know what I mean. You better be married by the time you come back, so I am free from your flirty smiles. Be safe and happy.

Yo Dr. L! It's Tamra here. I don't know you that well but have a good trip. Dr. C told me to write a message and I'm not sure what to say. Say holler to my people in Haiti! See you soon! X

Mindy laughed. Tamra was always clueless when it came to associating people. Then again, she had only joined. She noticed Danny's message was missing. It was his she had been looking forward to the most.

'Hey Danny, where's-'

Danny had his hand out with a card. She smiled as she understood that he had so much to say that it couldn't fit in a group card.

'Can you do me a favour? Will you read it when I'm not here?' She saw a lost man looking back at her.

'Of course. Let's go home.' They walked out linking arms.

Mindy,

It's hard for me to write this, knowing you're leaving us. Well if I'm honest, you're leaving me. You're the only friend who's been there for me the most. The others don't understand me like you do. I mean, it's not their fault. I hardly ever open up. With you, I'm comfortable. I find it difficult to say things face to face. I need to do something about this but for now, just read.

I'm going to miss you so much, Mindy. Who is going to annoy me every day? Who do I insult about their feminist ideas and what not? You light up the office and you cheer me up on a bad day. I'm going to feel lonely now. Jeremy will continue to find women to hook up with and he'll probably forget I exist. Morgan will be there I guess, but still. It's not the same.

Christina really ruined my life. She made me a grumpy closed-off person. But when you became my friend, I started to enjoy life. But you're leaving now…

I don't want to end on a depressing note so I'm just going to say, have a nice trip. Be happy and write me often if you can. Or email. Or call. I don't mind.

Love Danny x

Mindy started to well up. Danny was tearing at her heartstrings in any way possible. She was going to miss him too. She was going to miss him so much. She wouldn't be able to see his face anymore. She wouldn't be able to insult him or joke with him about anything. If she did, it would have to be over letters. It wouldn't be the same.
