2 days later, Las Vegas crime lab

You walk into the building with him laughing beside you.

You had two and a half wonderful days.

And now?

Less than a minute to met her again.

What will he do?

You didn't talk about that.

You just told him how much you love him.

And you know he loves you back.

But does he love her?

He's joking around with you right now.

You both start laughing and enter the break room.

There she is.

Running into his arms.

Almost knocking you over.

You're giving him one last glance,

Before you take a seat.

You watch them.

She's so happy.

Then you greet your co-workers.

Secretly still watching those two.

You look into his face.

And he looks at you.

Her back towards you.

His face tells you more than his words ever could.

He pretends to be happy.

But he isn't.

You know.

You can tell.

She kisses him.

You can just stare.

He kisses her back.

But then he breaks the kiss.

"I need to talk to you later Sara", he says softly.

Did he just say that?

Still embracing her,

He throws you an innocent smile.

Unnoticed by everyone else.

And you know there's hope.

TBC?
