Ficlet 1

„I'm sorry,“ Tom murmured, apologizing, but as always, Christine knew to hide her disappointment and smiled. This was why their relationship still worked. They understood each other; as CIA liaison officers and MI5 team leaders, their jobs would always come first.

But sometimes, at night, the dreams came back. The months he had spent with Ellie and her daughter Maisie had been the best of his life, and he was afraid that letting them go had been the biggest mistake he had ever made.

Ficlet 2

Feeling worn out, Tom closed his eyes, so this was the end; Harry had just told him that an early retirement was the only way for him. He was unsure what to think about this; too much had happened during the last years he had been the MI5 team leader; years which had changed him and his view of life.

An everyday life, a job, a house, maybe a family; no lies anymore, never to be forced again to use people he liked. The thought alone scared him because he wasn't sure if he could deal with that.

:::

Sometimes, when the loneliness almost was too much to endure, Tom wished to be able to make the final cut. To leave his old life behind. A new town, a new job, a new relationship one day. Children, he loved children. The time together with Ellie and Maisie had been the best he could remember. But faced with the choice of living together with them or continuing to give all for his country, he had placed the duty over his love. And he had lost them.

Deep inside, he knew that there would never be a happy end for him.
