It's been three years since Sara left. Grissom felt that each day went by slow and couldn't do anything to take Sara off his mind. Sure, crime scenes came along and he would solve them quickly, but as soon as he arrived to his townhouse Sara was back in his mind. Everything in there reminded him of her, their life together, those sweet nights when they would cuddle in each others arms. But everything was gone now. She was gone and it hurt him even more to think about it. Grissom soon started to think that Sara had moved on and forgot about him. She would call often, but those calls were no more received. From that moment he knew Sara was not calling him, he decided to move on. He would go on long walks after shift in the park. There is where he met a woman that decided to know more, and perhaps start something with her. Her name was Maggie. She was a tall brunette, long wavy hair and freckles shown on most of her face. They soon started to know each other and decided to go out. But some place deep inside his soul and his heart a part of his one love still remained.

One afternoon in June, Grissom was heading home from a day he spent in court testifying on a case his team had solved a week before. He was starting a new life with Maggie and everything seemed to be great. Since he wanted to stay happier the rest of his trip, he decided to turn on the radio and listen to some music. His smile was well drawn across his face, until a song started to play. "Here Without You" soon played, and Grissom's smiled suddenly faded away. As the lyrics echoed in his mind, his heart and mind reminded him of the only woman he ever gave his heart to. Sara. Tears started to develop in his eyes while memories of their previous life started to come back. But one in particular became even brighter.

Grissom is at the worktable. He's wearing coveralls and a beekeeper's mask.

He picks up a smoker. Sara walks in. She's also wearing coveralls and a

beekeeper's mask.

GRISSOM: "Oh, I love it when you dress up."

Sara laughs

SARA: "Well, you know, whatever it takes to get some time with you. How's the

study going? Any sign of Colony Collapse Disorder?"

GRISSOM: "Nope, so far it's healthy."

He takes out a smoker

SARA: "Nothing too healthy about smoking."

He puts the smoker aside.

GRISSOM: "Well, the scent confuses the guard bees. They won't emit the pheromone

that tells the colony there's an intruder. Don't worry, he's harmless."

(Grissom takes out a frame.)

SARA: "Who's who?"

GRISSOM: "These are the workers -- infertile females."

SARA: "They don't sting?"

GRISSOM: "No, not unless you swat one, or close one up in your hand, or freak

out. Go ahead, take off your glove."

SARA: "Eh... all right, I trust you."

Sara takes her glove off as a bee land on her hand

GRISSOM: "See? It's cool."

Sara smiles and watches a bee walk along the back of her hand.

GRISSOM: "The worker bees defend the hive, procure the pollen, make the honey,

nurture the larvae and pupae in each of these brood cells."

Sara watches the bee on her hand while Grissom stares at her.

GRISSOM: "You know, maybe we should get married."

Sara turns to him, surprised.

SARA: Ouch!

She realizes a bee bit sting her

SARA: " Oh, oh ... Ow."

GRISSOM: "I'm sorry."

"Ow."

Grissom gets the smoker and uses it.

While Sara giggles

GRISSOM: "No, no, don't, don't, don't pick it out. Makes it worse, releases the

venom into the bloodstream. It's better to scrape it."

Grissom takes out his pocketknife and starts scraping the sting from Sara's

hand. He works intently. Sara watches him.

GRISSOM: "So, uh... what do you think, you know, about..."

SARA: "Yes. Let's do it."

GRISSOM: "Yeah?"

They lean forward, but their masks bump into each other.

He remembered the day he proposed to her. The way her smile and response had brought a new light in his life. Tears began to fall down as he spoke.

"Gosh Sara, you've been gone for way too long. My heart keeps on aching everyday, but it has never ached this way before. It just makes me think of you even more. I just wish I could hear your voice again, to see that smile that made my heart melt, those eyes that made me drift into heaven, and the warmth of your body against mine in those chilly nights. I miss you so much."
