Summary: David Hodges gets a letter.

A/N: This is one of my first CSI fics where I don't focus on the main characters. I guess Hodges is considered more of a main character now. I don't really watch CSI that much anymore, but I've been watching some eps and some clips on YouTube and I found out that Wendy left and Hodges is heartbroken. CSI seems to keep missing the good couples. I liked Wendy and Hodges. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and review!


David Hodges stared at the envelope in front of him. His heart began to flutter and his palms felt like sweat was leaking from his fingertips.

He had received many other letters that would normally send anyone else into a panic. The Department of Defense. The FDA. The White House.

But this particular letter was not like the others. He glanced around the lab making sure no one was headed his way and began to open it.

Dear David,

I know you're probably beating yourself up right about now because you think this is your fault or like me, you feel guilty. If we're going to play the blame game, this is more of my fault than anyone's. I asked you to wait and be patient and you were... then I left. I feel torn about my decision about leaving. I'm excited about becoming a CSI- don't get me wrong.

I spent so much time looking for this perfect guy that I wanted, but I was stupid because there was one always right in front of me; he was the brilliant lab tech of the Las Vegas Crime Lab and I missed it... my chance... our chance. It makes me wonder how good of a CSI I will be if I missed the biggest piece of the puzzle to my heart.

You deserve so much better than me. I was a coward and let you go and I have to live with it for the rest of my life. Every time I miss you I'll send you love and life and I hope you feel it.

Love,
Wendy

He lightly fingered the letter thinking about the time Wendy had taken to sit and write it.

He had carried so much weight about letting her go. It still didn't matter if she locked up the blame and swallowed the key; they both missed their chance.

He smiled slightly. It made him oddly feel better that he wasn't the only miserable one of the two. He did wish her a good life full of happiness, but it was nice to know that he wasn't the only one of them with a broken heart.
