Chapter 1
Heather was sitting on the couch when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and got surprise when she saw who was standing in the hallway.
- Hey! - She said happily.
- Hey... Can I come in?
- Sure. - They entered and sat. - What brings you here?
- She left Vegas...
- Who? Sara? - He confirmed. - Why? - He gave her the letter.
Grissom started to walk around the living room while Heather read the letter.
-I'm so sorry... - The silence reigned in the room.
- I just can't understand why, you know? We were engaged, Heather... We would get marry in July.
- She couldn't stay here anymore, Gil. She just had to leave.
- But why?
- Sara can't deal with problems: she doesn't know how to do it. When a problem starts, she has to find a way to deal with it. Sometimes the only way she could image is running away. This is way she came to Vegas and stayed here.
- I promised her that I would help her.
- And you helped. But, to her, you weren't living your life. You stopped to live yours to live hers.
- I wasn't!
- Gil, you have to think like her.
- I can't. If I could, I would be Sara not me...
-Maybe you will never understand her... And I won't help you. - She got up and went to the kitchen with Gil following her. - Coffee?
- No. Tea, please.
- For Sara the life is very confused. And been with you just confused her more and more. If she stayed with you, she would have to face a lot of problems. And the first thing that she could image was starting to drink again, but she promised you that she would never do it again. So she had to run away. Now can you understand?
- I understand but I don't accept.
- Maybe you'll never accept this. - She gave him a cup of tea. - You weren't ready to leave Vegas. She was. And Gil, it doesn't matter what would you do, keep working together would hurt you and Sara. And your team would become part of your lives... You couldn't deal with it. Those things made she leave.
- It's more difficult than I though... - They finished their teas.
- Maybe you should call her. Tel her that you understand and that no matter what happens you'll love her. And hear her voice will make you better... - He smiled.
- I'll do this. - They walked to the hallway. - Thanks for everything.
- You're welcome... - He left the house. - And Gil...
- What?
- Never stop calling her.
- Ok. - She closed the door.
