2 MONTHS LATER
"Promise me you'll call?"
"Every night. Promise."
"And we'll still see each other on every other weekend?"
"And holidays."
"It's just 4 months, right?"
"At the longest. Look, technology is getting so good, this should be the last case I have to travel to."
"I know, but why couldn't it have been near Pawnee?"
"Next time I plan which city budget collapses, I'll make sure that I plan it near Pawnee." Ben says, kissing me on the forehead.
"I'm gonna miss you so much."
"Leslie, it's only going to be 4 months. And that includes 5 days off over both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll be back before you know it."
"Doesn't change the fact that I'll miss you" "I say, hugging him tighter.
"I'm gonna miss you too."
We stay in the tight embrace for a while, then Chris runs outside with his bag.
"Ben Wyatt! Ready to go?"
"I'm ready." He kisses me quickly, then walks over to the passenger side of the car. He glances at me one last time with a sad smile before closing the door. I watch the car as it drives off, course set for Fredrickson, Indiana, almost 200 miles away from Pawnee.
