The Ditch

He ditched me.  Again.  After five years and countless cases I don't know why I'm surprised but I am.  When I saw he wasn't around to do background checks I should have known what was to come.  I should have seen the heat that would come my way.  I should have expected the lies, the excuses, the apologies that I would make all to save his behind.  All while he's chasing aliens, conspiracies, demons, his sanity, whatever.  So why do I remain, allowing him to run amok this way instead of walking out the door forever?  Because I love him.
