Was missing Chuck and Sarah and needed some fluff. :) Short, fluffy holiday piece set mid season three.

Title: Taking a moment
author: Cindy Ryan
pairings: Chuck/Sarah
timeline: early to mid season three

From the girl whose father taught her the tricks of the con artist trade to the spy and happily married woman she was today Sarah Walker marveled at the twists and turns of her life. As she stood on the roof of Echo Park apartments watching the 4th of July fireworks Sarah was very grateful for what she had.

Being a spy Sarah knew how very quickly everything could be taken away. How fast someone you loved could be gone. It made her treasure the good moments like this one even more. Sarah snuggled closer to Chuck as the fireworks burst overhead. Chuck smiled, kissed her and placed an arm around her waist drawing her close. Red, white and blue stars and streamers exploded in the California Sarah smiled. She told herself just to enjoy the moment. They'd deal with the troubles to come as they always did.

"I love you."Sarah stated during a pause in the fireworks.

Chuck grinned and squeezed his wife's hand. "Love you too, always."
