Chapter 1

After reading the letter that Sara had left him, Grissom reached in his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He quickly dialed Sara's number.

"Hello?" She answered with a tone like she had been crying.

"Sara, I got your letter, what's going on?"

"Gil, I'm just tired of it, I can't go on working there I'm faced with death every day and I can't take it anymore I'm sorry."

"Where are you going to go?" Grissom asked but yet he was afraid of her answer, he was afraid she was leaving him.

"I don't know maybe I can go back to San Francisco and get a job as a forensic teacher. I just don't know Gil." She told him as she wiped away the tears from her cheek with her palm.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm at the house." She responded.

"Okay stay there I'll be there in a minute." Grissom said as he closed his cell phone.

On the drive home Grissom was trying to think of ways to convince Sara to stay in Las Vegas with him, maybe she could even find a job here as a forensic teacher.

He pulled the Denali into the driveway, put it in park and turn off the engine. He then walked into the house to find Sara sitting on the couch staring at the floor. She was still crying. Grissom reached out his hand wanting her to grab it, she did. He then pulled her up off the couch and into a hug. She began to cry harder against his shoulder.

"Gil, I can't do it anymore, after being trapped under that car in the desert, I realized I don't want to do this anymore." She said as she pulled away from him.

"Maybe you could find a job around here somewhere, you don't have to really move back to San Francisco." Grissom said as he reached out and began to run both of her arms.

"I thought about that Gil, but I would still be scared, living here after all that has happened, I want to go back to San Francisco and start a new life, put everything and everyone behind me. Don't get me wrong Gil, I love you with all of my heart but I think we should move on. Maybe in the future you and I can be together again, but right now I need sometime for myself." She said as she looked into his baby blues.

As much as it hurt Grissom to say it he told her anyway, "What ever you have to do baby, I love you and I don't want to keep you here if you aren't happy." He then gave her another tight hug as they both cried.

Later that night, Sara was ready to get on her flight the next morning. Sara and Grissom lay in the bed in one another's arms. It was silent they only thing that could be heard was their breathing. Grissom placed a kiss on her forehead as she snuggled closer to his chest. He didn't want this night to end, because he knew that this might be the last time he could hold Sara, for a long time. "I love you Gil." She said as she closed her eyes. "I love you too." He responded as he too closed his eyes.

The next day the drive to the airport was full of tears for both of them. When they arrived Grissom opened the door for Sara. She smiled at this. He helped carry her luggage through the terminal. There they stood at the gate entrance to her plane. He placed her bags on the floor next to her feet. "Call me when you get there okay?"

She nodded in response. "I love you." He told her. She didn't respond instead she placed a passionate kiss on his lips that seemed to last forever. She then picked her bags up and said "Goodbye Gil," as she walked away.

Grissom just stood there watching the love of his life, walk away. He watched until she was out of sight, he sighed heavily as he too turned around and walked away.
