A sticky note was all that he had left, she shouldnt have been suprised, but she was.

maybe it was the fact that he had left before without saying anything at all. This felt different in a way and still she felt incredibly stupid.of course he would not stay. She was being naive, her and frank could never stay away from one another completely. Sooner or later he would come over. Either because he needed help. Because she needed help. Or because she were in danger. But he had his war, and he was not gonna let that war go. She felt a little bit of resentment toward the fact. But at the end of the day, frank choose what he choose and it wasn't karen.

he had been there the previous night, and tho he hadn't really needed any help, he still asked her, it was an excuse. They both knew it was.

she thought that had been it. That the next time she would see him again would be either wounded or dead. Maybe it was dramatic. But she couldn't help but think this way. She had seen him covered in wounds before. She saw to many people she loved covered in wounds. It was either frank or Matt, and hell foggy had been shot. It was a while ago, but that still haunted her. All three of them had gotten better again. But that didnt keep the stars at bay

three months later

she had known it was him before she had opened it, yet her heart rate had picked up when she read his name. One last time she decided. She would trust him one last time.
