Codename: Kryptonite

Chapter Thirty-six

Agent Mission Log Entry:

I've made a life here. A life with Jon. I used my credentials to create a new identity for me, one that will stand up to the highest level of scrutiny. Can't have me being a skeleton in his closet when he runs for office, and he does have to run for office or we will never have the life we've had. At least, that's the way we've got it figured.

So, I will live out my days here as Monica Parker. My friends, and I have made several, call me Nicki. Richie, Broadway, and the other guys call me Nick. I think it's just to irritate me, so I don't let on that it does.

Jon, however, continues to call me Gabbs, at least when we're alone and among just friends. He refuses to call me anything else as long as we're not in public. Then, he grudgingly calls me Monica.

It's been two years since I shot Nate and saved Jon. Two happy years. I haven't felt the need to write in this journal until now.

It occurred to me that I'd like to get a few things down, just for accuracy's sake.

He can be exasperating - even an arrogant ass, but he's MY arrogant ass, and I love him very much.

We are aware that I have caused a time loop of sorts. That other me is now 14 years old and will grow up and become a Secret Service Agent. She will eventually be assigned to his security detail. Then, she'll have to go back in time to save him and will fall in love with him. And, I did fall in love with Jon.

And, I will live happily ever after.
