Chapter 8: August 8th, 2005
The next morning as he made breakfast she slowly walked into the kitchen.
She walked to him and kissed him lightly.
"Yesterday was wonderful, Gil"
"Yea it was", he smiled at her
"But we need to talk about what happened back then?"
"What do you mean exactly?"
"Why did you leave me, Gil?"
"What? I never left you"
"Well one day a week after you left Vegas I called your cell phone and on the other side was a laughing Sara Sidle telling her boyfriend that she'll meet him right after he showered-"
"What do you mean Cath?"
"Well I know she was talking to you, I heard her"
"No she was not, I was under the shower yes, but her boyfriend was showering too after we had this case and me and him slipped in a mixture of eggs, milk, oil and stuff in a grocery store. You didn't start dating Ed because of that call, did you?"
Tears forming in her eyes, why hadn't she known that earlier, "I did, well I thought you left me, I really thought that"
He lays his arms around her, "Well I thought you left me as I found the card in my mailbox"
"You never said anything, Gil"
"You didn't either"
"So what was that thing about beauty Sara told be a few years ago?", she asks wiping her tears away.
"I wanted to tease her a little bit actually she thought me how beautiful bugs can be, for example Ladybugs and Butterflies, she must have misinterpreted that"
"I guess she had"
"Anything else you want to know?"
"Yes", she says before kissing him.
"And that is?"
"Well for most people a little white chapel isn't the dream wedding, but for me it always was, besides we live in Vegas and lived here for so long,…", she starts rambling.
He stops her by kissing her, "Anything you want Mrs. Grissom"
"What about now?"
"Sounds pretty perfect to me. Cathy?"
"Yea?"
"You do know that today is the anniversary of the day we first met"
"Yea, I'm aware of that," she says kissing him.
"Then let's get changing into something we can wear outside the house", he says while grabbing the arm of his soon-to-be wife and guiding her to her bedroom which tonight will be already theirs.
