Kara made her way to her parked jeep. She was exhausted from a day's work of trying to avoid both Lee and Lindsey. Her shoes hit the tar ground, creating a clapping sound as she walked. She tuned out all noise except for the loud claps. Her hair fell into her face as she turned her eyes to the ground. A cold breeze blew by and Kara loved the feel. She placed her hands in her pockets to keep them warm and continued on her way; her jeep coming closer and closer.

She watched her feet as they quickly approached her vehicle. I could use a drink. Or six. She thought to herself; the first time today she had enough peace and quiet to think. Finally, she arrived at her car. She felt around her pocket for her keys, but they weren't there. It was then she realized she wasn't wearing her jacket. Dammit. Her mind flashed to a few hours earlier when Lee had ripped it off.

She turned her back to the vehicle and slid down its cold, metal surface. Her tired eyes slowly closed. Kara tilted her head backward and let it gently hit the keep. A moment later, something landed upon her face, turning everything dark. She placed her fingers upon it and felt the leather material. It was her jacket. A smile crossed her face as she pulled it off to see who stood before her. Her smile fell upon seeing who it was.

He crossed his arms and looked down at her. "Don't know how far you'd get without your keys." He let out a laugh and moved to stand beside her.

Kara inhaled slowly, wanting to get in her car and drive away. Drive far and fast, leaving all of this behind. Her body wouldn't move though; paralyzed. Words were forming in her mind but she didn't know which ones to say. Her body finally moved and she picked herself up off the ground. Her back was turned to him. She stood there, frozen for a second. She could feel his presence; sense his longing. The tension rising in the air but Kara didn't want to talk and he knew not to push her.

She faced him now, their eyes locking but he turned away. He fidgeted a bit and darted his eyes back to her. Kara let out a sigh and put on her jacket. He just looked at her with eyes of yearning as she reached into her jacket and slowly pulled out her car keys. She slid the key in and unlocked the door. The man just stood on, watching her leave. He was letting her go, but she was already gone.

Kara hopped into her vehicle and turned it on. The dormant car roaring to life as this moment was killing Kara's. The noise of the running engine was the only noise around. The man stood in front of her window and tapped on the glass. She turned to look at him but decided against rolling down her window. He placed his palm upon the glass and softly pressed his fingers down. The glass was the visible wall between the two of them. A fence, a border, a line that separated them. So fragile and so delicate, it could easily be shattered.

He smiled but his eyes were filled with sorrow. Kara turned her head around to see if any cars were pulling out behind her. She looked at him one last time and drove off, leaving him alone once again. He turned his head down to the ground. Lee and Kara both knew, this was their goodbye.
