Jack shrugged. "Not really...I just feel I don't give you the affection you deserve..." He squeezed her hand. "...mainly because I don't dare do that in public and we are hardly ever in private."

Prince smiled to him, not able to help it. "Well I appreciate it," she said nodding slightly. "It's a nice change, to say the least. I think I might get too used to this. Don't spoil me, Jack," she said with a playful smile.

Jack laughed and grinned. "Oh I plan to, Mary...I plan to...so just sit back and enjoy it." He looked out the window for a moment, and their food came. He blew on the soup. "Mmm...god I love Tibbys!"

Prince chuckled slightly. "Good food, for next to nothin'... which is good b'cause that's all we can afford," she said as she blew on her own soup. "It looks good," she said nodding as she dipped her spoon in and tasted it. "And it tastes good!" she was happy.

Jack smiled. "...well of course..I wouldn't have ya here if it tasted like junk." He took a big spoonful of his own soup. "...so...Mary." He had been thinking about it since they had gotten here...maybe he should tell her now. "...I got somethin' ta tell ya..."

Prince looked up at him curiously. Usually when someone said they had something to tell someone else it was either really good, or really bad. She was hoping for the former, but with him using her real name, she wasn't sure about that. "Alright... go right ahead. You can tell me anything," she said nodding.

Jack rubbed his temples. "I'm leaving for Santa Fe. Wensday." He sighed. "And you can't tell a soul." He couldn't even look at her. He knew it would more than likely break her heart.

Prince looked at him, she was, to say the least, a little shocked. "Leavin'? What... for like... a couple days. Takin' a vacation right? Ya gonna come back and pick up right where ya left off. I mean... It's just a vacation... right?" she asked. He couldn't mean for good. Surely not...

Jack shook his head. "...Two months at least, Mary..." He looked up at her. "...Davey is going to take over when I'm gone...I know...I shoulda tolda before..but I have to do this on my own...is been goin' insane Mary..."

Prince stared at him absolutely bewildered. "But... why? I mean, what is it that's been drivin' ya insane... maybe we can fix it!" he couldn't leave her! Not now.

Jack listened, allowing her to say what she would. "...We can't fix it. To be a better leader, I have to do this. I've lost my passion for the job, Mary. I need to see Santa Fe...I made a mistake not going when I had the chance last time. This time I have to do it. I'll be back.." He reached out for her hand, hoping she wouldn't shrink away.

Not only did she shrink away she pulled her hand away completely. The thing she hated more than anything was when someone left. Her mother left, even Avalanche left her. Well, she was going to give him a taste of his own medicine. "Write me a lettah. Send me a post card... good luck," she said standing up.

Jack stood up, grabbing her by her shoulders. "Now just wait a minute, Mary! That isn't fair to me, and you know it! This is something I have to do! Would you rather me be miserable? As much as I'd love to lie to you...you aren't going to be able to fix this! You aren't enough. I have to fix this on my own."

Prince sighed as she glared at him. "God... Jack! Ya... I just..." she was far too irritated. And she would probably be mad for a while about this too. "You gotta go... fine, you go do what you gotta do. I got no idea what you're lookin' for, and apparently I ain't much help." She calmed down a little. "You wanna leave? Okay... fine, do it. Leave us behind, but... just don't forget where you come from," she said nodding slightly, her eyes blazing.

Jack sighed. "....I'm not leaving us behind...I'm not breaking up with you, Mary...I can't look at another girl...I'll still be thinking about you all the time that I'm gone. And I'm coming back...just...I don't want to leave with you being mad at me.."
