“Trust me. This isn’t the story I expected to be telling. But you know as well as I that stories, like the people who tell them, aren’t always what they seem to be.

“You’re not failing. You just haven’t succeeded yet.” If you are at all familiar with the NCIS franchise, you know that the show tends to follow a bit of a formula.
