Evan tucked his sketch pad under his arm and started out of his quarters. It had been a while since he'd had time to sit down and draw. Since it was a quiet day in the city, he decided to take advantage of it. Plus, he needed time to collect his thoughts when it came to Michaela. Deep down he knew this was going to happen. He had been down the same road with her years before and it seemed she hadn't changed her view on commitment and love.
He couldn't fault her, though. She had been hurt by Alyssa and it seemed it was going to take more time for her to heal. So when word came through that Mike's dad had was ill, Kyri and him had encouraged her to go be with her family. It was obvious she missed them.
"Colonel Lorne, Sir," Chuck said as he hurried over to him when Evan started through Operations. "A message came for you through command."
Evan took the tablet from Chuck's hand and held it up to read. It was a message from Michaela, saying she was going to stay in Canada and not return to the city. With a small sigh, Evan rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Chuck. "I'll bring this back later," he said, knowing he needed to show it to Kyri.
Leaving Operations, he walked toward the balcony Kyri spent time sitting on. He walked out onto it and gave her a small smile before sitting down next to her. "Mike sent a message," he said as he handed the tablet to her.
