Gil woke up that next morning, Hannah next to him. Very carefully he rolled over and propped himself up on his hand. Hannah was still dressed in the shirt and jeans that she wore the night before. All the memories that he had tried to forget came rushing back to him. The way she snored a cute little snore, the way that her hair fell over her face, all the little things that made him go crazy.

When they were going out, Hannah would tell her mother that she was going over to her friend Elise's house. She got Elise to say that she really was there, and no one would ever know the difference because both her mother and father worked the night shift at the hospital. Since Gil's mom was deaf, she couldn't hear her son and his girlfriend in his basement room.

As the morning light poured into the bedroom, Hannah started to stir. She moved so that her face was facing Gil, and opened her eyes.

"Hey, Hannah Banana."

"Well, this brings back memories, now doesn't?"

"I was just thinking about that actually."

"So what happened last night? I honestly can't remember. I thought you were going to sleep on the couch"

"A little to much chardonnay?"

"Something like that." she sighed, rubbing her temples

"Well you said that you were tired, so I gave you my bed. You didn't want to change or something, so you just collapsed on the bed. I was about to leave you, and then you told me that you wanted me to stay with you until you fell asleep. I guess that I fell asleep too."

"It's nice waking up with you again."

"Hannah, tell me something."

"Sure, Love."

"Why didn't you ever get married?"

"Simple answer to that one. I couldn't imagine being married to anyone else but you. When I got sent away, I just figured that you went off to university and met some wonderful woman. Then you two got married and had a family. So tell me why you never got married. You are quite the catch Mr. Grissom"

" I just didn't feel right about it. I mean the love of my life was out there somewhere, my daughter was out there somewhere, and had no clue what happened to them. I didn't want to have something that the both of you might not have had."

"Funny how all of us never married. I mean Lydie was always a loner. She gets out every once and a while, but she defiantly didn't act how we acted."

"We were loners in our own sense."

"I guess so."

"I bought stuff for your favorite breakfast."

"Eggs Benedict?"

"Yeah."

"Did I tell you that you are the most wonderful man that I have ever known, or ever will know?"

"Hannah, do you think that this is really to good to be true?"

"No, Love. We're together, and for now that's all that matters. I love you, I always have, and I always will."

Gil just smiled, closed his eyes and sighed. This was his second chance, and he refused to tell it pass him by.
