Author's Note: Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days Challenge (yup this whole
story has been building up to these last three chapters!). I realize that
Chapters 7 and 8 are rather short but just trust me on this one ;)
~Waiting in the high flight..waiting through your whole life..waiting for an ideal, a low deal, a no deal to play your stereo type
Christmas Eve:
Once again Grissom found himself seated in the cabin of an airplane. He hadn't intended on returning to Las Vegas until after Christmas, but his mother had insisted.
"You aren't going to mope around San Diego on Christmas Gil. I simply won't stand for it," she had said.
Now he was on his way back to his job, to his friends, but most of all to Catherine. Part of him was elated at seeing her smiling face again, but another part of him was scared. Despite the obvious trouble she had gone through to find him in California and the heart-felt note, Grissom was worried that she would be angry with him for leaving so suddenly.
As the lights of Vegas became visible through the plane's small window, Grissom realized that it was now or never.
