CHAPTER 1
The jungle had its sounds. Sounds of life and joy. It was afternoon. They had survived. They were together. They were in love but she was sitting alone, thinking about how fate had changed the carts of their life once again.
The last 5 months had been amazing, a dream Sara couldn't even dare to consider possible before that day. When she turned and saw him behind her with his funny hat, she thought he was a mirage, a joke of her mind but he was too tired, too sweaty, too dirty. His eyes sparkled, his lips turned into a tiny smile and in that exact moment she understood he was real. He moved to her without hesitation, his arms outstretched; the moment before she was alone in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle taking pictures of a monkey and then she was in his arms again, after so many months of separation. They found themselves crying and holding each others passionately, desperately. She heard him telling her, he was sorry, he loved her. The kiss deepened and when it broke she took his hand and leaded him to her happy place. She had found the waterfall at her arrival in Costa Rica. It was an intimate place not too far from the camp but enough far from the other members of the research group. There their bodies, minds and souls collided in to one again. They had never been so close to each other as in that place. It held some of their most beautiful memories as a couple. From that day on they had been inseparable. His arrival at the station made everything more stimulating. They returned easily to old habits and found new addictions. They worked, argued, laughed, discovered and every night they made love in silence but with new passion and sweet tenderness. Then they slept holding each other tight in spite of the heat and humidity stifling their tent. They felt complete again. Gil Grissom had returned to be the man she had fallen in love almost 10 years ago at a Forensic Conference in San Francisco. He had become the husband she desired. Yes the husband, because now their marriage was no more a secret, everyone knew about it. In the end he had put her first, he had chosen her upon the lab, upon his career. He had told her that all he wanted was to make her happy because she was his everything. She remembered these words:
- "I told you I was happy" -
- "I know when you lie to me" – he responded and continued –" I was afraid to be late" -
- "You never are" -
She thought to be in heaven, he caught her doubt. He gave her one of his famous rare adorable smiles. Her heart squeezed. It was enough, they didn't need more.
They still had contact with Vegas. At times they asked Catherine to send them books and technologies. They asked her about Hank, their dog which now was living with her. But they didn't mention to come back: the lab was doing fine and they were happy here. Until now at least.
