[Transitions Universe Story #1] He doesn't need 4 weeks after all. Vignettes based on the last scene in Transition (S7E19). (A/N This was my first fanfic- it is quite a bit different than the rest of the series, but its still a good place to start.)

1. Chapter 1

I dropped down into my seat, leaned back and released a breath. I looked out into the night. Drained. Afraid to close my eyes for fear of passing out. Then I felt her presence and my focus shifted.

"Hey." I breathed out. She smiled. But it was her new smile. The one that looked slightly forced. There was an uncertainty in her eyes as she searched mine. Hopeful, yet still reserved.

"May I just say, a truly excellent notion."

"It was Sam." I confessed softly. I was rewarded with a grin. One that contained a glimmer of the past.

"Of course." She snickered.

"The vacation." I quickly interjected with a small smile. I was starting to feel like myself.

"Going with you part was all me." She blinked three or four times. Then a small smile. But it was one I knew. The one that told me she knew something. Something I was on the verge of figuring out for myself. She leaned forward and kissed me softly. And in that moment, I knew.
