"Gabby? Come with me to North Carolina." Mills repeats his question to her.
"I love you too," she says to him as she kisses him again. She pulls away from him, and asks "When do we leave? So I can go pack my things up."
He smiles "We leave at 6 tomorrow evening. You think you can be ready by then?"
She cheerfully says "Hell yes. I'll be ready!" She hugs him. They both laugh together.
Matt stands off into the distance watching everything happen right underneath his nose. He thinks back to his and Sylvie's conversation about Harrison. She said, "Everything happens for a reason ." Maybe this is one of those things that just happened and it wasn't meant to be.
The door to Mollys swung open, almost hitting Matt. Severide and Brett walkout to stand next to him witnessing it for themselves. Gabby kissing Peter and them running off to Peter's vehicle, hand in hand.
"What the hell just happened?" Severide outrages to Matt
"She's gone. She's going with Mills to North Carolina." Casey explains.
Sylvie puts her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. "Severide and I are meeting one of my friends from Zumba class at the Bad Axe Throwing, you're more than welcome to join us?"
He knows he shouldn't go with them, but watching Mills and Gabby kiss, he shouldn't go home and start arguing with her. He needs a night out away from home, time for him to process everything that just happened.
He turns towards her, exhales, and smiles "Sounds like fun! Let's go!"
Sylvie smiles "Oh yay! This is going to be so much fun. I'll drive since you two have consumed alcohol in your systems."
Severide's jaw drops trying to argue with her "I don't even touch the stuff, it's bad for your liver."
Sylvie turns around glares at him "Oh really? Should I go back to Mollys and ask Herrman what your tab was before we walked out? I am pretty sure I had seen you sitting at the bar with a domestic beer in your hand."
Matt looks at them, brows raised, trying not to laugh at the brother/ sister conversation that was happening right in front of him.
Severide throws his hands in the air, accepting defeat. "Alright! You win! I don't like this game anymore."
They all laugh on their way to Sylvie's vehicle.
They reach Bad Axe Throwing. Sylvie parks the car. They get out of the vehicle. Sylvie spots her friend from Zumba. The three of them walk over to her. Sylvie hugs her and turns around to introduce the guys to her.
Sylvie smiles in excitement "Matt, Kelly, this is my friend Stella Kidd. Stella this is Matt Casey and Kelly Severide."
Severide draws a blank face. He is flabbergast at how beautiful she is. He's instantly weak in the knees over her. That has never happened before to him. He is always down for fun with any woman, but not with Stella. She is like the Nobel prize in his eyes.
Stella gestures her hand out to shake their hands "Hi, it's nice to meet you, boys."
Matt shakes her hand saying "It's nice to meet you too, Stella."
Severide smirks at her, shaking her hand "Yeah, it's nice to meet you. Brett talks about you all the time. It's good to put a name to the beautiful face."
Stella blushes, nods her head at him, "Mhm."
