At the airport

Sara was trying so hard not to laugh, but to look annoyed or even angry, it wasn't working. She knew he could read her like a book sometimes, yet other times he didn't have a clue. This time she could tell he knew. She just smiled that wide Grissom only smile and said, "To be honest, I wasn't sure myself at first," she paused, took a deep breath and said, "On the third day, when I realized I hadn't thought of anything but you, that's when it hit me, I LOVE YOU."

He was shocked! This beautiful creature before him had just managed to sum up his own feelings in three little words. He only wished he had the presence of mind to return them, but at this moment he couldn't breath let alone speak. She seemed to notice this and decided to continue before he could make a fool of himself.

Sara continued, "So I decided to come back to Vegas and see if I could have a second chance. A chance at the life I'd so desperately hoped for when I'd first come here three years ago. I'm not asking for the world Gil, just a chance. I know what I want, and I'm willing to help you figure it all out if that's what you need." She moved closer to him until their chests were barely touching. Taking his hand in hers she looked deep into those mysterious blue eyes and said "As long as you're willing to let me in I'll give you all the time you need." With that said she closed the distance between them and lightly placed her lips to his. It didn't take long for the kiss to grow passionate and deep. Leaving the two of them breathless when they finally parted.

The love in his eyes was deeper somehow, making them shine as if illuminated from within. He was sure she could tell, but he needed to say the words before they escaped him again. As he looked into her soul he said, "Sara, I never thought I could feel so deeply about anyone. It scares the hell out of me, but with your help I think I can do anything. I didn't know just how much I loved you until I thought I'd lost you. Please, Sara Sidle, walk hand in hand with me down this bumpy road were about to travel."

She took a shaky breath, smiled and said, "I can't think of anything I'd like more."
