Sara had finally arrived at the vineyard, a little after dark but that didn't matter. She sat in the car and thought about... everything. She glanced at her phone she wished that someone would call her, mostly Nick. Everyone probably hates me right now! Sara took a deep breath and opened her car door. Leaving her stuff in the car, she walked up the steps to a huge townhouse, it was gorgeous not to mention HUGE! Se put her hand on a beautiful lion head knocker and tapped it three times. Not too quietly though, she was desperate. Looking at the floor, she waited for the door to open, wondering what they would think.
The door opened and standing there was a pretty brunette in her mid thirties.
"Sara?" The woman looked at her, her eyes had lit up.
"Hi Rose, how long has it been?"
'Rose opened the door, letting Sara in, surprising Sara as it was about 11:30. She expected anyone else to say 'Stay in a motel, I'll speak to you in the morning!' Obviously, Rose surprised her still.
"Sara" Rose frowned at her. "it's been 9 years, 4 months and..." Rose looked at a calendar on the wall, through to the kitchen. "and 3 days" Rose looked at her disapprovingly, shaking her head, she got up.
"Do you want a drink we can catch up?"
"Sure, thanks that would be great" She smiled.
Truthfully, Sara had come to a vineyard, just a different one to last time! She decided to call Nick later, he was probably at work, unless it was his day off.
Sara looked round; this place had changed, since last time she had come here, last time being when Rose and her husband moved to Vegas, well a little outside! That was 9 years, 4 months and 3 days ago. Sara looked down, she felt terrible to leave it this long, but with the graveyard shift, no one's exactly up to a friendly chat when Sara come off shift, at least anyone who didn't work at the crime lab.
Rose came back with two coffees, Sara smiled, she still remembered.
