"So..." Letty takes a deep breath as she looks up at Miller. "You're leaving me."
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm staying with Dad and my brothers this time." He nods, turning to face her. The two are the last ones in the motel that they've been staying at, and he's packing up the last of his things. "I think it's probably time you and I cut the cord." He says, and she smirks.
"Finally sick of me?"
"Finally convinced you'll be alright." He tells her, and she smiles.
"Yeah, I think you might be right." Letty nods. "Things are better, things are actually good."
"See what happens when you listen to me?" He muses, and she nods sarcastically.
"Yeah, we'll pretend that's how that happened." The brunette says, and he chuckles.
"Do me a favor?" He asks, and her eyebrows furrow as she gives him a skeptical look.
"Maybe..."
"Take care of yourself, Scar." Miller says, and she offers him a small smile. "I know it's your job to take care of everyone else — or so you believe — but don't forget about you in the process."
"I'll do my best, promise." She tells him, and he nods. "Hey, uh... Thank you, Miller."
"What for?"
"For being my big brother when I needed one." Letty says, and his expression softens.
"We're family." He tells her. "Through everything."
"One screwed to hell family." She muses, and he laughs as he reaches out and pulls her into a tight hug.

"Hey, Eric!" Shawn calls, and he and Letty walk over to the two younger boys in the high school hallway. "Guess what, Cory told Topanga he loves her." He tells him, trying not to focus on Letty, who still hasn't said more than two words to him in months. He really didn't think it through when he decided to call Eric over.
"Ooh, sucks for the rest of you losers." The older boy says, and Letty chuckles as she shakes her head at him.
"Oh, I forgot, he's the only one here who has a cool girlfriend."
