Lindsay came home after a work day. It had been an extremely hard day. Normally she was so focused on her work that she would only remember him when she got home… at their home. She would look around and remember their first night together, she would remember their last night together. During the day she did everything. She tried hard to think about her case, and not let her personal life affect her professional, just like she had promised Mac after Danny's death.
That was not what happened today, she remembered him all day, all because of her case. She was working in what looked like a double homicide – 1 male and 1 female – found dead in the woman's apartment. Turned out she had problems trusting people and he wanted to be more than 'just friends' with her and she wasn't ready. She pushed him away and moved to Manhattan – they were from Staten Island originally. He followed her; she said she wouldn't be with him as long as she lived. Well, he took that too seriously… and put a bullet in her head, killing himself after.
It wasn't how he killed, or why he killed her, it was the way things started: 2 co-workers that became friends and had a great chemistry. That reminded her so much of Danny and herself.
She thought about him all day, and it was painful, but the worst part was coming back to her apartment, and it being so empty, like something was missing. The worst thing was all the wonderful memories coming back at the same time. Every time they made love, every time she woke up with her head on his chest, his arms around her and all she could do was watch him sleep, every time he said he loved her and that she loved him back, when he proposed, every kiss, every hug, every time she was scared that she might lose him and he told her that he would always be there for her... Liar.
She started crying. She always had known better, she always known that her happiness wouldn't last forever, it was a matter of time. And what hurts her the most is that everyone pretends that Danny never existed. She knows that every time Stella wants to get her off home and go to a bar is for her own sake. Stella doesn't know how much it hurts her to move on. Move on. Lindsay will always have only on man in her life, and his name was Daniel Messer.
