I watch as Nick practically storms out of the Admiral's office. I knew that he was so close to a breakdown as I know that emotional things are very tough for him. But now I am facing the Admiral alone. I fiddle around with my fingers nervously, not sure what I should do right now.
"Thank you for letting us go, sir. We know that it is a bit of an inconvenience for you and believe me when I say that we didn't mean it to happen that way"
Then he gives me the softest smile and I can see the fatherly side in him. I know now why it is so hard for Nick because he is a good man and he cares. He put a hand on my shoulder and say.
"I know that you can not choose when you fall in love and I guess for you it was just meant to be this way. Now, please go and look after Nick. He is a great man but he has a lot of ghosts"
