If I was ever strong, it was because she stood behind me.

Meeting Leon happened by pure chance. You were a witness in a case he was investigating. And it was to him that you came for interrogation. As a thank you for your cooperation and help, Kennedy invited you for a cup of coffee. To your question about whether he invites all the witnesses to lunch, the agent simply answered: “No, you first,” with an extremely pleased expression on his face.

Then these meetings became frequent, the conversations were long, and the attraction between you intensified. And tomorrow your relationship with him will be one year old. But unfortunately we won’t be able to celebrate this. Leon was on a mission.

Despite the frustration and longing for him, you understood that Kennedy was not to blame for this and was not angry, but was simply waiting for his return. The agent almost never got in touch when he was on a mission - he clearly had no time for that, and the connection was not always available, which only made you worry even more.

Deep of the night. Today the relationship turns one year old. You lie in bed trying to sleep without your lover. Suddenly your insomnia is interrupted by the phone ringing. A photo of you and Kennedy together appeared on the screen - it was Leon calling.

“Hey honey, I woke you up, didn’t I?” - you can hear his velvety voice in the speaker. “No... no, you didn’t wake me up... how are you?” - you jabbered. “I... I’m fine,” Kennedy answered hoarsely, his breathing ragged. “Darling, listen, I wanted to say that I love you madly and congratulate you on our anniversary. I’m sorry that I’m not around on such an important day,” he said with pauses, and tears ran down your cheeks, but not only for you. Behind the phone screen, Leon quickly wiped away each of his tears. This was his last conversation with you, he hears your voice for the last time, he says “I love you” for the last time, he won’t be able to see you or hug you again. The agent understood that he would not return from the mission alive.
