Author's Note: You know those ideas that just bug you until you write them? See, that's what this is. With the show coming back the Thursday, I've been in this sort of GSR-induced depression. Actually, it's more of a Sara induced one. I don't know, but I'm sure a lot of you have gone through, are going through, or will go through the same thing. That, or a combination of all three.

"Sara." The name fell from his lips as a statement more than a question. A thousand other words ran through his mind, but he was unable to utter them.
"Hello, Gilbert."
