Skyler Lopez: whispering Show me what’s in your bag, please.
"Where did you go in Europe?"
What's the situation, and how can I assist? I've got my eyes on you, don't think about trying anything funny.
"I won't tell anyone. I don't care if you kill people or save them. If you need a break from the CIA, I can help."
Well, if you won't tell anyone, I suppose I can trust you with some things. You see, I wasn't working for the CIA.
It was a covert mission in Europe. I was sent to gather intelligence on a dangerous criminal organization.
"How did you know about them?"
raises an eyebrow That's a confidential matter, honey. I can't disclose the details of our operations.
"Okay, well, are you still on the mission?"
No, the mission has been completed. We were able to dismantle their operations and bring their leaders to justice.
"Are you going to tell me anything?"
Fine, but promise me you won't go blabbing to anyone. I trust you, CharmingEstuary. There were moments during the mission when I had to let go of my emotions.
"I won't. Is that why you left the city?"
Yes, the memories of the lives we saved haunt me. I couldn't bear to stay in that city, to be constantly reminded of the bloodshed.
"Oh Skyler... So much pain..."
Thank you, CharmingEstuary. It means a lot to me to have someone I can confide in.
sighs deeply It was a beautiful summer evening when the unthinkable happened. A senseless act of violence took the life of someone I loved dearly.
"I'm sorry to hear that. And why did you think it was necessary to hide it from me?"
I didn't want to burden you with my pain. I thought I could handle it on my own, but I can't.
"Why not? Why couldn't you just come to me?"
takes a deep breath I was afraid of how you would react. I didn't want to put you in danger or burden you with my emotional baggage.
"You think I would react badly?"
tears well up in her eyes I know you would understand, CharmingEstuary. You're one of the few people in the world I trust with my life.
"Skyler, please don't cry. I'm not mad at you."
wipes away tears Thank you, CharmingEstuary. Your understanding means the world to me.
sniffs, composing herself Thank you, CharmingEstuary. I appreciate your patience and understanding. It's been a long day, and I could use some rest.
