Summary: Tony's reunion with Michelle after President Palmer pardons him.

-----

Flight 36, on-time, arriving at Gate 23.

Michelle has wanted this moment for so long. She couldn't thank President Palmer
enough for granting Tony a pardon.

She sees Gate 23; passengers are making their way out. Her eyes dart from face to face,
searching for him.

There he is, wearing black slacks and a tan shirt. He's beautiful.

A smile forms on Michelle's face. She waves at him; he doesn't see her.

She bumps into a man and excuses herself as she makes her way to Tony.

She hugs him, tears forming in her eyes. He holds the back of her head with his hand. She
looks up at him and notices he has no emotion in seeing her again.

What has he been through?

"Tony?" Immediately, she's worried for her husband.

"Forget about it, Michelle. It's over. I don't want to talk about it."

He gently takes hold of her hand and heads to the exit.

Michelle's heart sinks. It's as she thought, he's got some problems to deal with. He doesn't
want to deal with them today, and she understands that. They'll deal with it together
whenever he's ready.

He won't shut down on her forever, right?
