Chapter One

Introduction:

Nick and Sara were two of the closest friends since they were both in college in Dallas, Texas. This is when they both first met and fell in love at first sight, but did they realize it? No. They remained close until Sara left to study in San Francisco, California. When Sara left they had no idea they would meet again in Las Vegas.

Beginning

Fall 1988 Forensics Seminar Dallas, Texas

Sara was looking through different microscopes with different samples of types of blood diseases so they would be able to identify them. Nick walked up to the same table looking at the blood disease samples, when he goes to turn around to look at the next sample behind him when he ran right into Sara. "I, uhh... hi." Nick said going instantly shy at the sight of Sara.

"Hello." Sara responds shyly tucking a piece of her middle of the back length chocolate brown hair behind her ear looking down at the ground.

What was up with her? She has never felt this way around anyone before. Sara felt a weird tingling from where they ran into each other...

What was wrong with him? He was a tall, strong, Texan guy and just looking at this girl made him go soft, and not to mention the weird tingly feeling.

"I... uhh... am sorry for running into you, I didn't realize that anyone was behind me." Nick says still slightly shy.

"That is alright, my name is Sara, Sara Sidle." She says smiling brightly at the tall Texan.

He couldn't help but to smile back at her, she had a beautiful smile. "Hello Sara my name is Nick Stokes."

"Hi Nick."

After that Nick and Sara walked and talked while getting along really well. Then for Sara something about Nick made her tell him of her childhood and how her mother murdered her father and her brother didn't try to get her out of the house when he left, and he just say there and listened and held her when she started crying about it. But little did either of them know this was not going to be just a friendship, it would develop into something much, much more.
