He was losing her. In a deep, aching part of his heart he knew (he'd always known) that this wasn't her home. She'd never settle down in a place like Wheelsy, she was too restless, too free, with a greater purpose that he'd never be able to help her fulfill here.

He knew it, that didn't mean he was going to give up.

"So why couldn't you just tell me? Just so that I know, so I'm not sittin' here readin' funny papers thinkin' everything is fine, while you're across the ocean learnin' t'kill people or whatever it is you're doin'."

She could give him that much, a least.

"If you're restless tell me. If you're frightened tell me. I know now you don't think I c'n help or understand, but Jesus, you ain't even givin' me the chance t'try!"
