Prologue.
A/N: This is my first story in a while. So, please bear with me. Read and Review. But, if you are going to say something rude. Keep it to yourself. Thank you.- Katie.
August 2003.
I never imagined i would fall for this woman. I never imagined i would be with a woman. It was always men. I liked men. But, this woman. She.. was incredible. Her touch gave me a tingling sensation in my spine. Her kiss gave me goosebumps. I loved the way my hand fit perfectly inside hers. The way her blue eyes sparkled right before she cried. Her blonde hair fell perfectly over her shoulders. As this woman lay sleeping in my arms, i can't help but to wonder what the future held for us. I ran my free hand along her bare backside slowly, hoping it wouldn't wake her. As i reached the small of her back, i placed my lips softly against her shoulder before whispering a soft 'I love you'. I looked at the clock, knowing in a few hours, my plane to Miami would be leaving. I was all packed and ready to go, but i still hadn't fully decided if i wanted to leave this beautiful, amazing woman behind. Part of me wanted to ask her if she would go with me, although i knew she would decline. She had a job that she couldn't quit. She worked so hard to become an attending. I knew she wouldn't give it up. I admired the woman before me one last time before i slowly slid out of bed and dressed myself. I packed the remainder of my things before quickly writing a letter and leaving it on her bedside table so it would be the first thing she saw when she woke up.
Arizona Elizabeth Robbins, words cannot describe the way i feel about you. You are so beautiful and you deserve everything life has to offer. But, i'm afraid i need to go. There is some things i need to take care of back in Miami. I want to take you, but i know i cannot as you have made a life for yourself here that you cannot abandon. I will come back for you one day. I hope you'll wait for me. You know my number. If you need ANYTHING at all, please call me. I miss you already. I love you.
Love, Calliope.
As i had written the last 'e', the tears rolling down my face had finally made it to the paper, smudging one of the words. After i sat the letter down, i kissed Arizona softly on her lips once, twice, three times more. Letting my lips linger on hers the third time. I ran my hand through her hair softly and covered the rest of her bare body up, knowing she would get cold as the night progressed. And with that, i gathered my things and left the apartment, knowing that when she woke up, i would have done the thing i vowed to never do. Break her heart.
