A/N: Yes, I know it's extremely short, but I won't leave you hanging for long. I promise.

Oh, and this isn't my favorite story... It's kinda cheesy, but who doesn't love cheesiness at least just a little bit? And it's kinda unrealistic (like really OOC), but this is fanfiction, so that's okay. lol

Time for me to stop rambling and get on with the story. Enjoy. :)


Danny,

I love you. Honestly I think I fell in love with you the first time we met. I really wish I didn't have to do this. I gave Mac my resignation letter a couple days ago (don't go getting mad at him--I made him promise not to tell you). I'm going back to Montana. I know you, and I know that a guy like you can't spend forever with a girl like me, but that's what I need. I'm leaving because I can't stay and not be with you, and I don't want to tie you down and have you resent me. I'm so, so, so sorry. I love you.

He found the note when he got home from work, along with an empty closet where her things should have been. He felt tears sting his eyes as he headed out of his apartment complex and back to the lab.

"Mac," Danny said as he entered his boss's office. "Why the hell didn't you tell me she was leaving?"

Mac looked up from his computer with an apologetic look on his usually well-masked face. "I wanted to, but she made me promise not to tell you. She said she'd tell you in her own way."

"She left me a note. Did you know that the reason she left was because she thought I didn't want to be with her forever?" He paused and reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box. "I was gonna ask her to marry me, Mac!"

"Danny, I... I didn't know." Did Mac Taylor just stutter? He turned around and grabbed a piece of paper from his desk and put it into the shredder. "That was her resignation letter, so officially she's on vacation. Go get her." He checked something on the computer while Danny stood there speechless. "The next flight to Bozeman leaves in an hour. Go."


Don't forget to review. ;)
