The words hit Nancy like a slap. "N-Ned . . . you don't mean that--"
"Yes, I do. I can't live with the way things are between us any longer. You're changing, Nancy. You don't trust people anymore . . . not even me."
"That's not true!"
"Then what about Mike? When I told you he was okay, why didn't you believe me?"
Once again there was nothing she could say. She hadn't believed him. But did she have to pay for it by losing Ned?
"Ned, I love you," she whispered. "Please don't leave me."
"I'm sorry, Nancy. My mind's made up. We can still be friends, I guess. Or at least we can try to be."
"Ned, no!"
"Goodbye, Nancy. And good luck on your next case, whatever it is."
With that, he turned and walked away. Nancy watched him disappear down a snowy path, her mouth hanging open. This couldn't be happening! How could they be breaking up after all this time?
A minute later, he was out of sight. He didn't come back, either. Nancy desperately wanted to see his face one more time, to plead with him to change his mind. But she wasn't going to get that chance, she knew. It was over. For good.
Turning away, Nancy walked off into the darkness. In the distance, a siren began to wail. A vast emptiness opened inside her, and for the first time that she could remember, she began to cry.
