Through tear-blurred vision, Sabrina unlocked her apartment door and went inside. She dropped her hoodie, purse and carry on amidst the the half-packed boxes and weaved her way through the maze to her bedroom, where she fell on top of the covers and buried her face in Will's pillow. After inhaling his scent, she let the tears flow in earnest as she recalled their scene in the airport.

Earlier...

Attention passengers, preliminary boarding for flight 1127 to Chicago will begin pre-boarding in five minutes. Everyone with business class boarding passes should begin making their way to the gate.

"That's me."

Sabrina, who'd been lost in thought over her conversation with Patrick last night, looked at WIll and said, "What?"

He looked at her and said, "I have to get ready to board."

Sabrina shook her head. "Yeah, of course we do. Duh. Let me just put my Kindle away. Can you hand me my phone and charging cord?"

Will grabbed Sabrina's phone and cord and put it in her outstretched hand, but he didn't remove his hand from on top of hers. Instead, he lifted his other hand and put it below hers. "You're not going with me," he declared.

Sabrina turned to look at him. "What?"

"I'm going, but you're staying here with your family."

Sabrina yanked her hand out of his and shoved her stuff into her purse. "What family?"

"Patrick and Emma"

"They aren't my family. I'm leaving with you." When Sabrina went to push up from her seat, Will stopped her.

"They would be if you let go of your fear of being hurt and give in. Patrick's been jumping through hoops to get you back and he's been slowly wearing you down. You're just scared to admit it."

"But, I love you, Will."

Will smiled slightly. "I know you do, Sabrina, and I love you, too. You changed me. Because of you, I want one person to love and spend my life with."

Sabrina, now scared and upset, worked to keep her composure. "But you have that now - with me. And, we can have that together. In Seattle."

Will sighed. "No, we can't, because the one person for you isn't me. If we stay together, Patrick will always be there - like a ghost - and I refuse to be second best. I don't have it in me." When Sabrina's tears started to fall, Will used his thumb to wipe them away. "My ego just can't take it."

Sabrina laughed despite herself.

Will continued, "So, I'm going, but you're staying."

Announcing the pre-boarding for flight 1127. Please make your way to the gate now if you are a business class passenger.

When Will stood up, he pulled Sabrina with him. Crying freely, she grabbed his hand as he went to pick up his carry-on and murmured, "Will…" Will pulled her into a tight hug and Sabrina held on for dear life. When he went to pull away from her, Sabrina whispered, "Please don't do this."

He smiled sadly at her and rubbed her upper arms in comfort. Then, Will leaned in and kissed her goodbye tenderly on the lips. Knowing in her head that his decision was the necessary one, but refusing to accept it in her heart, Sabrina wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, pouring all her love for him into it. When they broke apart, Will stared at her for a moment as if he was trying to memorize her face.

"I love you, Sabrina Santiago," he said as he brushed the tears from her eyes.

Sabrina could tell he was on the verge of crying as well, so she brought her hand up and caressed his cheek. "I love you, too, Will Foster. Always."

Will stepped back slightly and bent down to pick up his carry-on and backpack from the floor. When he went to walk away, Sabrina grabbed his free hand. "I'm not sure I can let you go." Desperate to keep him in her life, she impulsively asked, "What if you stay here with me?"

Will squeezed her hand reassuringly. "You have to let go, Sabrina, for both our sakes. I can't stay any more than you can leave. You know what this opportunity means for me and my career."

Sabrina nodded. Will had been so excited when he received the offer to run the trauma department at Grey-Sloan Memorial in Seattle a few weeks after he'd gone there for a conference. It was everything he'd worked toward since graduating medical school and she wouldn't ruin it for him by being selfish. Will slowly slid his hand out of hers and walked to the gate, but paused before entering the jetway. "If you're ever in Seattle, look me up. I just might be persuaded to break my one-woman resolve for you."

Sabrina smiled and blew him a kiss when Will gave her his trademark wink. Then, she watched him disappear into the jetway and, belongings in hand, stood by the window staring at the plane until it left.
