Chapter 5

After they left the scene of the crime they returned to the lab. Danny ran into Mac and Stella.

Mac: Danny. How is Lindsay? She okay?

Danny: She'll be okay. This case really got to her.

Stella: Danny. You know that she will need to go to a mandatory phyc evaluation. Right!

Danny: Right.

Mac: The sooner the better. She needs to put this all behind her.

As they were in the hallway talking Lindsay approached them.

Mac: Lindsay. How are you?

Lindsay: Fine. I guess. I was wondering if you would mind if I took the rest of the day off?

Mac: I think that that is a good idea. I think that Danny should take you home. I don't think that you should be alone. Okay.

Danny: Sounds good to me. Linds. That okay with you?

Lindsay just gave a slight smile. Sounds good to me.

Danny: Good. Let's get you out of here.

As they were leaving Mac grabbed Danny by the arm.

Mac: You need to convince her to go to her phyc. Evaluation. Alright!

Danny: Alright.

Stella walked over to Lindsay and gave her a hug and looked at her. I am really glad that you are okay. If you ever need to talk about anything, I want you to know that I am here to listen. Us girls gotta stick together.

Lindsay: Thanks Stella. I may have to take you up on that.

Flack came walking through the halls. What are you two still doing here? I thought I told you to take the rest of the day off.

Danny: Leaving right now.

Flack looked at Lindsay he could tell that she was a mess. He looked at Danny and said…You better take good care of her man. Because if you don't. I will.

Danny just smiled and took Lindsay by the hand and said let's go. The arrived back at Lindsay's apartment. She immediately took her shoes off. I'll be right back. I just want to get into some more comfortable clothes. Danny made himself at home. He saw that she had a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and found 2 chilled glasses in the freezer and took it upon himself to pour 2 glasses. When she came back out she had pink tank top on and a pair of pajama pants and pink slippers. He reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him.

Danny: I took it upon myself to open then bottle of wine in the frig. I figured it might relax you.

Lindsay: She looked looked at him and smiled. Thank You!

They both went and sat down on the couch. Danny was sitting again the armrest and turned his body slightly towards hers and she leaned into him. He took his hand and turned her face towards his.

Danny: You okay?

Lindsay: Better.

She looked at him and just closed her eyes and leaned into his chest. Danny……………….I love you!

He squeezed her and wouldn't let go and he said………………………I love you. They stayed like that for awhile.

After awhile she sat up and grabbed her glass of wine. Looking at her he knew that this was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Danny: Lindsay. Mac wanted me to tell you that tomorrow you have to go to a mandatory phyc evaluation.

She didn't even look surprised. I know. Will you come with me?

Danny: I will. Are you sure you want me there. They are probably gonna want to talk about your past. Is that something you want to discuss in front of me?

Lindsay: It doesn't matter now. All that matters is that you are here with me. And I want you to be with me. You make me feel safe. I never thought that I would ever feel that way again.

Danny: Linds! I will always try and keep you safe. You are my everything. My reason to live! Wherever or whenever you want me I will be there for you no matter what.

She turned to him and looked into his beautiful crystal blue eyes and leaned in to kiss him. I really do love you. I never thought that I could love someone like this again.

Danny: Don't think about it. Just go with it. That is what I am doing. I have never felt the things I feel for you. You have turned my world inside out. I promised myself that I would never let a woman do that to me and then you came along Montana. My life has never been so good!
