I love the way that Jack finished his article. Jen and Abby should feel as big as fleas right now. I am still wondering how valid the divorce is as Jack never signed any papers he just found out about it when he returned. Thanks for the chapter Kpatch.

I can understand Jack saying it was his fault for not going back to Salem with Jennifer but Jennifer should have known there was more to the story and never believed that walkabout cover. She's lived in Salem her whole life, that should have been all the experience she needed to be suspicious.... and nothing excuses WHO she chose to hook up with because she was mad at Jack. Jack had to debrief before he could come back to her; I think Jennifer needs to disinfect before she goes back to Jack.

I still don't blame her, though I know it'd be really hard to justify her continuing with Daniel knowing that the real love of her life didn't abandon her.

JENNIFER’S OFFICE, SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Jennifer and Abby read the end of Jack’s article out loud as tears flowed freely out of their eyes.
Jennifer: “In any case, if you’re reading this Jennifer, I love you. I never stopped. You and the kids were in my thoughts every moment. And you always will be.”
Jennifer and Abby were crying their eyes out.
Abby: I can’t believe it.
Jennifer: You can’t believe it? I can’t believe that I believed he was on some stupid walkabout. I feel like such an idiot.
Abby: What are we going to do?
Jennifer: Saying I’m sorry is so lame.
The phone rings and Jennifer answers it.
Jennifer: Yes? She covers the receiver and mouths to Abby. It’s Leon Panetta.
Abby: Who???
Jennifer: I told you! The Secretary of Defense! She speaks into the phone. Yes sir. Yes. Yes, I’m writing it down. Yes, we will. Thank you. Thank you so much!
Jennifer hangs up the phone.
Jennifer: Come on Abby. We have somewhere we need to be and we have no time to waste.
Jennifer and Abby rush out the door and head for the elevator. The elevator doors open and Daniel gets off, running smack into Jennifer.
Daniel: Whoa, where’s the fire?
Jennifer: Daniel! Oh my gosh.
To be continued...

Jennifer, listen to me girlfriend, do not stop, do not try to talk to Daniel right now. Go straight to wherever Jack is and do everything in your power to make it up to him. Jack is your soul-mate and you need to get back with him. Tell Daniel you will explain everything later. RUN JENNIFER RUN!!!!!!!

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Jennifer and Abby rush out the door and head for the elevator. The elevator doors open and Daniel gets off, running smack into Jennifer.
Daniel: Whoa, where’s the fire?
Jennifer: Daniel! Oh my gosh. I completely forgot about you. Um. I need to talk to you.
Abby: Mom, the plane is waiting. We can’t be late.
Daniel: Where are you going?
Jennifer: Abigail, give us a few minutes. Daniel, let’s go into my office.
Daniel follows Jennifer into her office and she closes the door.
Jennifer: I don’t know how to tell you this.
Daniel: What’s wrong?
Jennifer: Nothing. Everything is right. I mean, everything finally makes sense. Except for me, and the way I reacted.
Daniel: I’m sorry sweetheart, I’m just not following you.
Jennifer: I know. I’m being cryptic and I’m sorry. I hate when people are cryptic. It’s Jack.
Daniel: Oh Jack. What did he do now?
Jennifer: He made the world a safer place.
Daniel: What are you talking about?
Jennifer: I can’t go into details. Wait.
Jennifer logs back into her email and forwards the link for Jack’s article to Daniel’s email.
Jennifer: I just sent you something that will explain everything. Daniel, I ... I can’t see you anymore.
Daniel: Excuse me?
Jennifer: I made a terrible mistake. But I’m going to do everything I can to make up for it.
Daniel: You’re breaking up with me?
Jennifer: Yes. I’m sorry. You’re a great guy, Daniel, in spite of what everyone says about you. And I’m grateful for what you did for me and my father. You saved our lives. Oh gosh. I know this is hurting you, but if you believe in fate, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Daniel: I thought we were perfect together. I thought I finally found the right woman.
Jennifer: I know. But ...
Daniel: But what? Why?
Jennifer: You gave me back my heart once. But my heart belongs to someone else. It always has and it always will.
Jennifer kisses Daniel on the cheek. She leaves her office and rejoins Abby who is waiting near the elevator..
Jennifer: Abigail, I’m ready to go.
To be continued. Tune in tomorrow for the finale of Living Dangerously.
