Philinda: I'm not going anywhere

Part 2

"Phil Coulson!" May said in the hallway outside of his office as her shoes tapped the concrete walking quickly to his door. He sit on the edge of his desk awaiting her to walk in. She barged in through the open door, "a freaking month. You let me explore the entire globe and didn't even mention what's going on around here? I would have came back Phil, I could have jumped on the next-" she ranted as Coulson stood and walked closer. "It's good to have you back Melinda" he said quietly interrupting her as he wrapped his arms around her. Closing his eyes and placing his chin on her head. "I'm so glad you're here" he whispered his voice shaking and threatening to break as his throat tightened. "Phil" she said quietly. "You should have told me, you should have just-" "I know. I should have. I didn't want to ruin your trip" he said back in a quiet broken tone. "Melinda this last month... It's been hell. I can't, I just don't think I can do this. I can't" he choked out that brokenness in his voice. She wrapped her arms around the back of his neck slowly, "shh, Phil I know" she said reassuringly. He shook his head, " Don't leave me please" he begged. She backed away to look up at him, "I am not going anywhere" she promised staring up into the eyes of a strong, very broken man.
