ITALICS ARE THOUGHTS
It had been one week since Gil Grissom had left Las Vegas, and more importantly Catherine Willows.
They had been in contact through MSN, but all she wanted was him, so she waited every night for him to come online.
Tonight she sat on her sofa with her computer on, signed into MSN, she sat and waited for him, she knew in her heart that she would wait forever for him.
She waited, and imagined writing the three words she had always wanted to say to him, but didn't have the courage to.
A ping sounded throughout the house, and she ran to her computer and smiled at the sight of his name as it popped up onto her screen.
: Heyy How are you?
: I'm Okay . You? I miss you with all of my heart and soul, I'm not really Okay, I hate being without you
: I'm Okay, We all miss you though I miss you
: I miss you all too, How is Lindsay? I miss her too
: She's doing good. She's gone off to college now And I'm all alone
: Alone? How stupid was I to leave her?
: Yeah Without you
: I'm sorry For leaving you and not telling you how I feel about you, god I love you Cath
: Why are you sorry?
: For leaving you
: You went after the woman you love, you can't be sorry for that Even if it was the wrong woman, even if it wasn't me
: I'm sorry because I left to chase after the wrong woman I should've stayed with you
: What do you mean?
: I'm coming back to Vegas tonight, I'm at the airport now
: Why?
: Because I should never have left you, I love you
: I love you too
: Really?
: Of course, I'll meet you at the airport, you can stay with me
: Thank you Cath, I have to go they're calling my flight now, I love you
: See you soon, I love you too
: See you soon SIGNED OUT
6 HOURS LATER
She smiled nervously, as she waited for him to arrive.
As he came through arrivals, their eyes met, and they smiled at each other, and as he approached her, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionate.
That day they would make love for the first time.
They both knew, she would never leave her again.
