He was hardly listening to her talk about him just leaving. He didn't know what she was talking about then anyway. There would be time for that later.
"No," He shook his head. "That's why she won't stay with me. She says she loves me but she doesn't think she has enough time left to give herself to me the way I deserve or some bull crap. She's scared. So she goes to Gibbs because he feels like home to her. They've know each other a long time."
Suddenly his beer bottle is empty and he tosses it away. "She's got a lot to deal with. This disease, me, Gibbs, everything, we put her through a lot but the disease is going to win. It hasn't won yet though and I want to be with her until it does. I don't want her to miss being with someone who truly loves her because she's scared."
"If it makes you feel any better, Gibbs doesn't love her either. He does, but I don't think she's who he really wants either." He grabbed another beer. He felt a little fuzzy thanks to the last of his pain prescription mixing with the beer. "If you repeat any of this I'll kill you with a croquet mallet."
