Jack Martin quietly leaves his daughter’s bedroom and enters his own.

Kelly sits up in bed reading a magazine as Jack slips in beside her.

“Is she asleep?” Kelly asks.

“Yes, it only took one story tonight.”

“Jack I’ve never seen you happier.”

“These last few days have been the best of my life, and I’ve come to two decisions.”

“What are they?”

“One, I’m leaving the Bureau, I need a less hectic job if I’m going to raise Cathy.”

“Oh, that means we won’t be seeing each other as much. What’s the second decision you’ve made?”

Jack reaches into the bedside table and brings out an engagement ring.

“I decided to stop being a fool and ask you to marry me. I love you Kelly, marry me.”

“Oh Jack yes, yes I’ll marry you and I promise to be a good mother too.”

“Kelly you’ve changed my life. I love you so much.”

“I love you too.” Kelly says, and the two kiss. As Kelly admires her ring she asks. “How soon are you leaving the Bureau?”

“There are a few things I want to clear away and then I’ll let Lindstrom know, probably in a month or so.”

“That soon? Oh God, it’ll just be me and Morgan then.”

“Quit too Kelly, there’s a lot of money to be made consulting on Internet security, and that way we’ll be partners in business and marriage.”

“Law enforcement is all I know. I’ve never thought of doing anything else, but maybe it’s time for a fresh start. Let me consider it for a while, in the meantime I’ve got a wedding to plan.”

Jack takes her hand. “Mrs. Martin, I promise to make you happy.”

“You’d better Mr. Martin.”
