I haven't talked to Buck for 1 month and a half, he knows what he said and I'm the one who holds grudges. I don't care if I lose people because of that, it makes my life easier, for the most part, I was stuck on paper duty because of the fracture in my hand I meant what I said I'm tired of hearing Buck apologize. Serena has the cutest dog ever and we decided it's good enough weather to walk him out. As I'm gossiping with one another, I sit on a bench and take pictures of Serena for Instagram. I always wanted to be a photographer but never had the actual passion to pursue it.

"Hi, thanks for meeting me." Abby faces her body toward Buck he just turns his head to the side. "Yeah, how's Sam?" no matter how annoying or how heartbroken he was Abby, Buck would never even hurt a fly unless someone hurt someone he cares about. "He's good, they're expecting a full recovery, thanks to you guys."

"Good he seems like a great guy." it was awkward between the two, especially Buck. "He said the same thing about you and I will never be able to thank you enough for what you did."

"Just doing my job, that's all." he gives her a kind smile. "I'm sorry you had to find out about it this way. I wanted to talk to you about everything while I was in town."

"That's what you're sorry for? When did you know that you were... leaving me for good? Was it in Morocco or Paris or Dublin or- or did you know when we were at the airport and I was kissing you goodbye and promising you that I would wait for you? Did you know that you were never coming back to me?" Buck presses her for an answer. "I thought I would look like I was a person whose life revolved around everybody else's problems, I had no identity other than the people I was helping. My 9-1-1 calls, my dying mother, I just had no sense of self. I had to leave everything that I knew so I could remember who I actually am."

"And you did right? I mean you did remember but you still didn't come home."

"Yeah I know, I think I was afraid that if I came back I would become that person again because I missed you I wanted to see you." I was walking with Serena and I heard a familiar woman's voice once I got a bit closer I saw Abby and Buck sitting on a bench together. It was Crystal, she had her life figured out but she was afraid that Buck would drag her down with him.

Me and buck make eye contact and I speed up my pace when walking, he knows I heard what she just said to him. "That girl that I met yesterday, firefighter Cruz? She sure is talented at her job, both of you guys saved my fiancée but I have a feeling she means something more to you. I can see the way she looks at you buck, people like that don't always appear nowadays. Go get her, because I know for sure that you feel the same way."

Maddie finally announced that she was pregnant with Chimney's baby, I wish them nothing for the best. They are going to be amazing parents, I don't doubt it one bit.
