Warning: Main character death.
Stella sat beside Lindsay at the funeral, gently holding the younger woman's hand.
"Detective Danny Messer was a good man, and a good detective, even if he tended to follow his intuition, rather than the evidence. I also know he was a good husband and a good father. He was a good friend, and I think we'll all miss him dearly, most of all his wife Lindsay Monroe. He was killed in the line of duty attempting to stop a murderer," Mac said from the podium, "Lindsay?"
Lindsay rose, tears in her eyes as Stella squeezed her hand one last time. She replaced Mac on the step.
"Danny was the perfect husband and father for me and our daughter Lucy. I will miss him dearly, and there's not much for me to say."
Three Hours Later...
Stella had volunteered to stay with Lindsay overnight, in the interest of being a friend, so she was sleeping on the couch in the apartment Danny and Lindsay had formerly shared. She woke to gentle sobbing, and walked into where Lindsay was sitting on the bed, head in her hands. She sat down beside Lindsay.
"Hey, what's up?"
"I couldn't sleep. I keep having visions of Danny going down on that roof."
Lindsay turned to face Stella, then pressed her lips to Stella's. The older woman deepened the kiss, and they fell onto the bed together, still kissing.
