Chapter 14
A year later, I was sitting around the back yard of the new house that Sara and I had just bought, watching my guests interact with each other and smiled.
"Hey baby, what you thinking about?" Sara whispered in my ear wrapping her arms around me from behind.
"Everything, how much has changed in the last year, you, me, everyone, I just can't believe how happy I am," I smiled. I looked over at Nick and Greg trying to throw the other in the pool and Lindsay sneaking up behind them with Warrick and Jeremy to push them both in together. Sitting beside the pool Brass was entertaining Detective Curtis, his lady friend, with another one of his stories. Under the gazebo, Grissom was sharing an intimate moment with Lara, they had become quite the couple over the last year, both travelling between Las Vegas and Australia to spend time together until Lara's transfer comes through. Catherine and Nancy came through the back door with the salads, both in a heated argument about microwaves. I smiled up at Sara and kissed her.
"What was that for?" Sara asked.
"Can't I kiss the person that I love whenever I feel like without an excuse?"
"Love huh?"
"Yeah baby, forever and always."
