She quits ... People move on, he says ... She quits. How is that even remotely possible? How could she just pick up and leave? Here I am battling with myself whether to leave in the midst of this administration or to fight for the long run while she just leaves, no warning given! Okay fine, she did say she's quitting but still ...

Why?! Why would she want to leave me? What could she possibly want more than she can get here? This is the White House for crying out loud. The west wing on top of that!

And what about me? Didn't I go all the way to Germany for her! I even left the country in the middle of a national crisis ... for her! And she quit just like that and left me with what's her name! Talk about loyalty.

This just does not make any sense. Maybe she's just pissed that I kept canceling lunch. I can't help it if my job demands as much as it does. I can't prevent things from coming up or happening. Like the asteroid. Well, perhaps there was nothing I could have done except you know...closely monitoring the situation.

Ah, who am I kidding? I so could have made time for her. If I could go to Germany, I surely could have had lunch with her. But ... I honestly had no idea she was this unsatisfied with her job!

"You used to love it when I couldn't dress myself without you." "I used to love peppermint ice cream too, but now, those little pieces of candy? They get stuck in my teeth in a way that I find irritating."

"I quit."
"What? Come on! No you don't. Walk with me."
"Look at my face. I'm not messing with you."

Damn it! I have to have been a total dumbass not to have seen this coming. Maybe I did know…subconsciously. Maybe I was avoiding the talk on purpose. Why do I keep doing this?

I have to see her…. talk to her. I have to change her mind….if it's not too late. Is it too late?
