Grace sat on the roof the CBI building, deep in thought. It was that time of the year again, the anniversary of her sister's death. Usually she liked to be alone, but this year was different; although nobody knew what today meant to her, Wayne was being supportive without even knowing it. She didn't even hear the heavy door swing open, and she didn't even know he was there until he squeezed her shoulder in comfort. At his warm hand, she jumped slightly causing Wayne to wrap his arms around her middle in a protective embrace to keep her from falling over the edge.

Grace leaned back into Wayne's embrace and he joined her in looking out over the darkening city. She placed her head on his shoulder and he kissed her on the temple. No words of comfort was needed; his presence was always enough for her to feel just a little bit more content in her own self and the day as a whole.

Grace knew she would have to tell Wayne about her sister eventually but not now, not tonight.

Although that day may have been, many years ago, the events and the emotions were still too raw for her. She hadn't even spoken about it, because she preferred to suffer in silence. She never had felt comfortable confiding in other people, she didn't want to dump her problems onto others, so she never had; but this was the first time, she had ever considered it, sharing her problems and worries and it had much to do with the person holding her now.

"You make me feel safe." Grace whispered, while still looking out over the city. Wayne brought one of her delicate hands to his lips, and kissed it gently.

Grace pulled her legs back over the ledge and to the grounded side of the CBI building as he let her go and stepped back. She turned and stood to stare up into Wayne Rigsby's blue eyes. She then stepped closer, and wrapped her arms around his middle burying her face into his shoulder.

Wayne was stunned for a moment, but soon held the woman he loved close to him; a few tears slipped down her rosy cheeks and she was glad when Wayne didn't say anything.

He knew just when to be there.
