Calleigh entered her parents' house and glanced around.
"Mom? Dad?"
"In here."
"Hi Daddy." Calleigh smiled, walking into the kitchen. "Where's Isabella?"
"Tim came and took her." Kenwall replied.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Lambchop, the poor guy just wants to see his daughter."
"Yeah there's nothing wrong with that. What time is he bringing her back?"
"He actually asked you to come get her."
Calleigh let out a growl and grabbed her keys.
"I'll be back later." she slammed the door and Kenwall walked upstairs. His wife gave a sniff of disapproval.
"I don't see why you're going along with." she said, feeding Isabella.
"He's a good man Liv."
"He's an idiot that what he is."

Calleigh used her key and walked into her house, immediately realizing how much she missed it. The lights were off but the house was lit by candlelight and rose petals littered the floor, leading upstairs. Calleigh sighed, realizing what she got herself into. Half of her wanted to walk out that door and the other half of her wanted to walk upstairs and see what was waiting for her. She missed Tim, more than anyone would know or she would let on. Calleigh finally gave up and walked upstairs. The petals stopped at her bedroom door, which was conveniently closed. She walked over and placed her hand on the doorknob, unsure of whether to go in or not. Obviously Tim knew she was there because a CD started playing and Calleigh recognized the song immediately.
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Come back to me, and forgive everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
"This isn't going to fix what you did." Calleigh said as Tim pulled her into his arms. She allowed him to sway them both to the music and she slowly rested her head on his shoulder.
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
"I'm sorry." Tim murmured. "Baby, I never meant for that to happen. I swear to you I tried to get her to leave but she wouldn't."
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
"Where's Bella?"
"At your mom's. Your dad helped get you over here." Tim said. He tilted Calleigh's chin upwards so he was looking her in the eye. "Remember this song?"
"I could never forget it. First song we danced to as husband and wife." she murmured.
"Well everything they say in it, I mean it. I don't love Brianna, I don't know why you thought I would. I love you, until the end of time, however cheesy that may have just sounded."
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
"Will you please come home?" Tim asked. "Love me again?"
"I never stopped." Calleigh whispered, tears filling her eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm the one who's sorry. I should've let you explain and I realized how stupid I was acting but then I felt stupid for acting stupid and I didn't want to admit it and... and I just made no sense."
"I understood you completely." Tim wiped her tears away. He didn't lower his hands when he was done and looked longingly into her eyes. "This week has been hell."
"I know." Calleigh leaned up and kissed him softly. Tim quickly kissed her back and pushed her back onto their bed. Calleigh moaned as they pulled apart and she glared at him. "You better have a good reason."
"I have to go blow those candles out. Unless you want to set the house of fire." Tim ran out of their room and a few minutes later, came back. "Where were we?"
"Right here." Calleigh grabbed him by the collar and kissed him deeply. "I love you."
"I love you too." Tim kissed her back and Calleigh smiled, pulling them both down onto their bed. "Your mom doesn't care if she has Bella for a bit does she?"
"Well she's gonna have her for a while now." she drawled. "Less talking, more kissing."
"Yes ma'am."

Tim woke up and smiled, seeing Calleigh asleep in his arms. Then he remembered why he woke up and grabbed the ringing phone.
"Hello?"
"Speed, it's Hagen."
"What's up?"
"I found your Matt Winston. He uses aliases. His current one? Mike Wallace."
"Isn't he a janitor at CSI?"
"That would explain how he knows everything. I got his address if you want to head over there."
"Yeah. Yeah thanks John." Tim grabbed a piece of paper and pen and quickly scrawled the address down. "Alright bye."
He tossed the phone away and rolled over to wake Calleigh up.
"Baby..." he shook her shoulder gently.
"What's wrong?" she mumbled.
"Nothing. Hagen found Winston. I got the address. Let's go."
