Steve's POV

Time flew slow with Jill being grounded. She was a huge mass of complaints, and scoffs and constant texting on her phone. I thought she could use some time to think about her actions so she wasn't allowed to go out for the rest of the week. Of course that meant her and I had to figure things out because I didn't trust her alone in the house very much either. It had come to it for her to come with me at the office and sometimes even staying there while we were out after some lead. Needless to say her multiple requests of her coming with us got a negative from me.

I had felt Cath really off all day and while it worried me, I hadn't found a moment to ask if everything was ok. Knowing her like I did I was sure she'd come forward over what was bothering her one moment or another, so I thought it was better just to wait. That afternoon it'd be just me and her. Tired of her whining and feeling she had done thinking enough, I allowed my sister to go to her friend's house to work on a school project. She had to be home early but it'd give me and my girlfriend some alone time to talk.

"I thought your sister would be home by now" she said while she plopped down on the couch looking extremely exhausted. She sure worked a lot so maybe that had something to do with her mood lately.

"Sorry babe, she had a school thing. You can still catch up with her tomorrow. Maybe we can all go eat something" I proposed in an attempt to cheer up the mood in the room but the opposite thing happened.

I saw the moment Cath's beautiful eyes clouded and her lips twisted to the side, obviously having something to say but didn't really want to say it. I grew curious and worried every second she spent in silence but I decided it was best to wait for her to gather the words she needed.

"I'm afraid there won't be a tomorrow Steve" Cath finally broke the deep silence we were into, so the booming of the bomb she just threw on be was twice as loud.

"What do you mean?" I said not following her words. Even when I knew she'd clarify in a second I had a feeling of how this conversation was going down.

"Orders came in. I'm being sent to the golf tonight Steve" Cath said trying to hold all her sadness and swallow it to follow the orders she was given. So much I couldn't help but to want to follow her anywhere she went, thing that wasn't possible for the moment.

My arms reached for her instinctively and she snuggled against my chest, fitting her head in my neck crook. With a deep breath her special perfume invaded my nostrils and settled the memory in my brain, just in case this was the last time we saw each other. We really didn't knew ever. Our jobs were high risk so we really didn't keep much loved ones in our lives. In my case it's just her and my sister I can't live without... and yeah I guess Danny too.

After a few minutes I felt her gently squeezing her way out of my embrace. The look in her face said loud and clear she had to go. My heart pinched with guilt knowing about a little person that was going to miss her even more than I would.

"Can't you stay a little longer? Just say goodbye to Jill please. She'll be back early" I begged her but she refused again.

"I wish I could, you know that" she answered with her voice drown by sorrow and her eyes sparkled with longing already. "I only have a couple hours and then I have a plane to catch. I'm sorry" she added to her explanation, one I perfectly understood having been in her place many times. I had too had left Jill without saying goodbye too many times to count.

"Cath it'll break her heart if she doesn't see you before you leave" I made one last try, as if it was at her own will to leave or not. But my protective brother side screamed for me to do anything to shield Jill's heart.
