Lie to Me, i do miss you so. Still don't own the show. Do you think we would be waiting so long for it to return if I did?

'ow Ow OW OW.'

He hears her cry out from her office. He rushes in, concern evidence on his face.

'What's wrong love?'

She looks up, tears forming in her eyes.

'Oh, I'm just an idiot. I decided it would be a great idea to stab myself in the finger with the letter opener while opening the mail.'

He looks down to see her nursing a tissue around her finger, the blood starting to seep through.

'Hold on a second. I'll just grab the first aid kit.'

Rushing out he quickly makes his way to the kitchen and starts searching through the cupboards.

'Damn it,' he mutters under his breath.

'HEIDI!'

She comes rushing in.

'What's wrong Dr Lightman?'

'Where's the first aid kit.'

She looks at him strangely and points to where his hand is.

'Just a little to the left boss.'

Sighing in relief he grabs it and runs back to Gillian's office. He hears Heidi call out, something about everything being ok, but he's too concerned about Gillian to care.

'Ok love. Give me your hand, I'll bandage it.'

He sits in the chair in front of her and gingerly grabs her hand. Pulling out the gauze and disinfectant he begins to dab at it. He winces when he sees her wince. He hates to see her in pain, in any degree, for any reason. Securing the bandage tightly he smiles and stands up.

'All done.'

Gillian smiles at him and stands up too. She walks over and wraps her arms around his waist.

'What would I do without you?'

He pulls back and places a kiss on her forehead. Picking up the kit he walks out.

When he's sure she's out of hearing range he whispers under his breath.

'The real question is what would I ever do without you?'
