Sheldon's gone.
Penny thinks that, for one of his top four friends, it's funny how she doesn't find out until he's gone.
Funny.
What else is funny is how everybody else knew. And what's worse is that they all seem to know why.
But she'd thought that she'd explained things, that it had been okay. She'd also thought that it had been kept between the two of them, but given how Leonard's been acting, she was wrong at least once.
She tries to find a way to contact him. Even if he'd unblocked her email address since the lolcats incident, he gave his two weeks' at the beginning of the month. His CalTech email has been deactivated. His cellphone isn't working either.
She calls his mother. She learns that Sheldon's gone back to Germany. The school he was at when he was a teenager. He's not coming back.
And the thing is, Penny just wants to apologise. Say she's sorry.
She's just too late.
