Chapter 3: Admissions of the Heart

Stella dropped Lindsay off at the lab around 9pm before she went home. Lindsay had some paperwork she needed to finish and stuff like that. On her way to her office she passed Mac. She gave him a small wave and a tired hello. When she reached her office she sat down and yawned. As she looked around Lindsay noticed that the room looked untouched. She automatically assumed that Danny had been upset enough to not come back to their office that night, but the thought quickly vanished when she spotted a letter and a CD on her desk. She picked up the letter and leant back in her chair.

Montana,

She couldn't help but smile at the nickname he had given her when she had first transferred. When Lindsay had first arrived she had expected that she would receive rookie treatment but when Danny had dubbed her 'Montana' she thought it marked her doom. It had reminded her of high school. She was the new girl and she was partnered with the hot football player. But as the days turned into weeks and those weeks into months, the name 'Montana' had took on a whole different meaning. It became a small mark of the growing bond between them and she found herself waking up in the morning waiting the hear Danny's New York accent drawl out the nickname and give her the smile that caused her to go weak in the knees.

I know everything. And by everything I mean the conversation you had with Stella before you left. Before you do or say anything, don't get mad at Stella or Flack. They are just trying to save us from ourselves.

Lindsay laughed. It was just like Danny to make he laugh during a serious situation. And she couldn't be mad at either Flack or Stella. She has to admit that getting everything off her chest had made her feel a lot better. It just amazed her, the things could Danny could pull off.

I'm sorry. I didn't know what you had been through and if I had I wouldn't have pushed you so hard. All I know is that I love you and everything that's happened doesn't change anything. I want to try 'us' Montana because I really think it would work, but I can wait until you're ready. And if it counts for anything, I would take a bullet for you given the chance. Now put the CD in your computer and listen to the song. No talking. Just listen, Montana.

Love, Danny

Lindsay gingerly wiped away the tears that had begun to form in her brown eyes. She carefully picked up the CD and put it in the computer. A song began to play and Lindsay automatically recognized it to be "Let's Be Us Again" by Lonestar.

Tell me what I have to do tonight
'Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again

I'm sorry for the way I lost my head
I don't know why I said the things I said
Let's be us again

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again

Oh us again

Her mind drifted back to the earlier scene in the interrogation room. They had both said things that had come out wrong. Tears began to fall deftly down her cheeks.

Look at me, I'm way past pride
Isn't there some way that we can try
To be us again
Even if it takes a while
I'll wait right here until I see that smile
That says we're us again

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us

She smiled through her tears. It had to be the truth. Danny must be way past pride to do something like thins. But then again it was one of the many reasons she loved him.

Danny watched from behind. Lindsay hadn't heard him walk up. He was now leaning against the door frame watching Lindsay. She couldn't see him because her back was towards him, but it didn't keep him from spotting the smile on her lips. 'Well, it might not be the usual, bright smile but it's a start'.

Danny slowly and quietly walked farther into the dimmed lighted room. "Baby, baby what would I do." He sang out loud along with the music. When he knelt down in front of her Lindsay gasped of shock. "Can't image life without you."

His stormy blue yes were clear and filled with love as the locked with Lindsay's deep brown ones, as the last chorus faded to an end. "Danny." Lindsay whispered once the room was silent, except for the sound of their breathing and the steady beating of their hearts.

His finger stopped her from going on. He took her hands in his and kissed them. "I love you Lindsay and nothing you say is going to change that. But now knowing how you feel inside helps me understand. I want you to know that I am ready and willing to wait until you're ready; no matter how long because you are my perfect match."

Lindsay smiled. "I wouldn't say perfect but as close as it gets."

Danny laughed and wiped her tears away gently. Cupping her face he pulled her in for a kiss. The kiss was gentle, sweet and everything they had ever wanted it to be. When they pulled away reluctantly, Lindsay rested her forehead against his. "I love you Danny and I'm ready to try 'us'."

Danny smiled and places a quick kiss to her lips. "I love you too Lindsay."

She quickly shook her head. "Montana." All she received from Danny was a quizzical look. "As much as I like it when you call me Lindsay, you're supposed to call me 'Montana'. It's unique and it symbolizes that you have my heart; forever and always."

Danny just looked at her shocked. He had a feeling she like the name but she had never let on totally. "I love you Montana."

"That's better. Now kiss me again, Messer." Lindsay demanded sweetly and Danny happily filled her request.
