Before they found out about Sara, Greg and Tara had been taking their relationship further and further. To take things back in time a little bit, this is a tidbit of what happened while Sara was in Chemo.
Point of View - Tara
"Greg, I was going to tell you this the other day before your cellphone rang, but I- I-", I paused. I had played this moment over and over in my head, planning exactlywhat I was going to say, and how I was going tosay it. But now, the words would barely come to me.Si I just did it, beforeI even had time to think about what I had in fact, just done.
"Ithink I love you.", I said as I bit my lower lip anxiously, nervously awaiting an answer from him.
I couldn't Believe I just told him what I had kept bottled up inside of me for so long. I hadn't been able to say it, but this time it practically jumped out of my mouth.
I wished he would say something instead of staring ate me in awe with those big puppy-dog eyes.
I wished he would break the silence I was beginning to hate so passionately.
He opened his mouth finally and spoke words I had been dying to hear for so long.
"I know I love you. I have never been in love. I have never been so happy just to sleep next to someone. I have never felt the need to hold a girl, just so she can be near you, so you can be near her. I like that feeling. I like it a lot."
Point of View, Greg
"I love you", I told Tara as we ate the dinner that I cooked for her and me.
"I love your cooking. And you're a nice bonus! I feel like something's wrong though, and I can't put my finger on it. You know?", Tara replied to me jokingly but with a glint of concern in her voice.
We sat on the couch lip locked for a few moments, and then we laid down.
I stared into her eyes as we talked, taking in all the emotion they showed me. I love her so much, but I felt like we needed to get away, just us. I wanted time to get closer to her. I wanted to be with her forever. We needed a vacation, but I couldn't leave Grissom. He needed me there because he was already short one CSI. I sighed.
I thought of Sara a lot lately.
I worried about her every night because she hadn't told us where she was. I snuggled closer to Tara and we talked for awhile.
