Shay sunk down on the floor as she finally realized Lindsay just wasn't coming. She hadn't seen her girlfriend in weeks and she was worried sick. She jumped up when she heard the water began to boil, she angrily shut off the burner and poured herself another glass of wine. She wiped away a tear as she glanced at the clock once again for what seemed like the millionth time, it was a little pass ten. She began to blow out the candles and head upstairs, she stopped when she heard a light knocking on the door. She rolled her eyes as she set her wine glass down and went to answer the door. "Kelly I swear to God if you're drunk," she began but her words got lost when she saw who was standing there. "Erin?"

Lindsay held up a bag of Chinese food as she gave her a small smile, "sorry I'm late."

Shay's heart beat in her chest as she held the door open wider for her girlfriend. She watched as Lindsay set the bag down on the kitchen counter. She took in Lindsay's distraught appearance and walked over towards her. "Are you okay?" she asked as she took Lindsay's hands.

Lindsay's eyes watered as she looked into Shay's eyes. She pulled her into a hug and began sobbing. Shay never once let go.

"Talk to me," Shay whispered as she led Lindsay over to the couch. They both sat down, Shay's eyes never left Lindsay's as she waited for her to speak.

Lindsay took a few deep breaths before speaking, "Snyder is back."

Shay's mouth dropped open as she recalled how she responded to the officer down call. She also remembered how battered and bruised Lindsay was but that was before they began dating and she had refused to talk about it.

"He's a very dangerous guy and I won't rest till we get him."

Shay reached over and took Lindsay's hand; she intertwined their fingers and smiled. "Close your eyes."

Lindsay smiled as she closed her eyes. She took a few deep breaths as she felt Shay running her thumb over her hand.

"Picture our first date," Shay began. "And how happy we were to finally be off work for a while with no worries."

Lindsay smiled as she remembered Shay pulling her close as they danced at the restaurant. She opened her eyes and pulled Shay close kissing her deeply. "I love you," she mumbled against her lips.

Shay smiled as she rested her forehead against Lindsay's, "I love you too."

Lindsay laughed when she heard Shay's stomach growl, she stood up and offered her hand, "Shall we go eat?"

Shay smiled as she nodded and took the offered hand.

"I know it's not the best food, but it was the only place still open, besides McDonalds," Lindsay said as she munched on an egg roll.

Shay wiped her mouth before answering, "No it's fine really."

Lindsay set her wine glass down and walked over towards Shay, she wrapped her arms around her as she sat on her lap. She began playing with her hair as she looked into her eyes. "I'm really scared Shay."

Shay pulled her closer, and listened to her heartbeat. "I know you are, but you're the best cop I know."

Lindsay smiled as she rested her head on Shay's shoulder. "Well every time things get to scary I will just close my eyes."

Shay smiled as she stood up, she glanced at the clock, "it's past one, ready for bed?"

Lindsay yawned as she followed Shay up the stairs.

Shay barely slept as watched Lindsay, she prayed that her girlfriend would be okay but she knew deep down she wouldn't be and that worried her more than anything.
