First, I just wanna thank Imzadi83, veras333, RigsPelt Shipper, leahxlol, leah1219, and GibbsIsMyGod for the awesome reviews!

So, this chapter is basically the events of Rigsby's evening, starting after Grace walks away.

I don't own anything.

Wayne Rigsby sat at his desk watching Grace walk away.

I know who I am. She had said to him. He knew who she was. She was the woman he was in love with. She was the woman he was going to leave the job for. She was the woman who had changed her mind.

He sat in the dark alone. He could hear faint sobs, he already knew whose they were.

He felt frozen like he couldn't move. The woman who in such a short time had mended and strengthened his heart had broken in about two minutes.

He saw Jane. He thought he was being sneaky but he wasn't. Rigsby watched as Jane walked into Lisbon's office. He could faintly see Jane walking around the dark office. He watched him call someone, take a book off of the shelf and then he heard Jane's phone ring. Seconds later Jane had snuck back out and was gone.

Kimball Cho got off of the elevator. He walked slowly towards the bullpen. What he saw astounded him. Rigsby was crying. Cho had never seen him cry before.

He walked slowly towards him. Rigsby looked up at him. Even in the dark, Cho could see the tragic sadness and emptiness in his friend's eyes.

"It wasn't that simple." Rigsby said absentmindedly.

Cho sat on Rigsby's desk. "What happened? I told you job or Van Pelt. You picked Van Pelt." He said before realizing, "Wait, Van Pelt changed her mind?"

"Yeah. Grace changed her mind." Rigsby said. He still couldn't believe it. She had just started telling him she loved him a little while ago and now they weren't together anymore.

"Tell me what happened." Cho said bluntly like Rigsby was a suspect.

"Well, we were gonna go see Hightower. But then she said that she loved me, but she loved the job more. I told her that it didn't matter, I was leaving. But then she says I'd hate her and she didn't want that kind of responsibility. I… I asked her if she was sure and she said she knows who she is. I don't understand. She should know that I could never hate her. I'm in love with her."

"Well," Cho said awkwardly. He was even worse at this than Lisbon was. "Why do you think she changed her mind?"

"I know why she changed her mind. She has a secret. Something so bad, that she has to keep it from me."

"Look, Rigsby. I'm not good at this. I'm not all touchy feely, but I am your friend, so I'm just say it the best I can. Van Pelt loves you. But you have to remember who she is. She's the rookie, the junior agent. Don't you remember how you were when you were the junior agent? You were always scared that you would mess up and you didn't have something like this hanging over your head, not to mention whatever secret she has. Just give her some time, okay?"

"Okay." Rigsby said quietly, trying to fake a smile.

"Now get up." Cho said standing up.

"What?" Rigsby asked confused looking up at his friend.

"There's nothing you can do here, just go home and get some sleep or something." Cho said.

"Okay," Rigsby said.

The two men left and Rigsby drove home.

He opened the door of his apartment. The first thing he saw was Grace's yoga mat. She had left it at his apartment. He tried to shake it off, but everywhere he looked there was something that reminded him of Grace. The healthy food she had made him buy, the lavender shampoo and conditioner. But the bedroom that was the hardest. Her favorite one of his T-shirts that she always wore to bed was strewn haphazardly across the bed. He gently picked it up and breathed in her scent. He stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed.

Grace was everywhere, in the sheets, in the strands of red hair left on her pillow. Wayne couldn't sleep. He missed her. Not just the sex, but the way she made him laugh, the way they could tell each other anything, well, almost anything, the way she felt so right in his arms, the ways some nights they'd stay up until dawn just talking like they would be doing it for the rest of their lives. He had thought they would.

Suddenly, he was very tired. Emotionally, physically, mentally.

Before he drifted off to sleep he whispered as he did sometimes while she was sleeping, but tonight he added something else.

"I love you Grace Van Pelt. More than anything in the world. When your ready I'll be here.

So, next chapter will be their first day at work not together. Review please! They make for faster updates.
