Sara's POV
The hot water runs over my naked body, soothing my soul. I trace the scars that litter my body, the ugly white marks marring my peach skin. Funnily enough though it doesn't bother me like it used to. I'm used to them now, they have become part of who I am. I still hate what has been done to me, but in a strange way I'm starting to see the better side of it, look at what I have now, Gil, a proper home, everything I ever wanted. The warm, loving relationship I have now was never open to me before, being so stubborn I refused to let it go, holding on to what you want does pay off, even if you have to go to hell and back to get it. I don't think my slow recover would ever have occurred if I wasn't here. I lean my head back against the warm tiles of the shower and let the feeling of the water run over me, I hear Gil moving about in the next room and I smile to myself.

Grissom's POV
I pace the room maybe a little too loudly. I know what I have to do, she deserves to know about Ecklie, I still can't believe that I kept it from her for this long. I hear the flow of water stop and my heart beat quickens. What if she hates me? What if she never speaks to me again? What if she leaves? I shake myself, no I can't think that way, keep a clear head just like when your on a case. But this isn't a case, this is our lives, the woman I love more than anyone or anything in the entire world, I can't live without her. The bathroom door opens in a cloud of steam looking like something out of a bad sci-fi series, and Sara steps out dressed in just a towel. She walks up to me and settles herself on my lap, Jesus she's making this so damn hard.
'Sara, there's...there's something you need to know. Something I haven't told you, that well...' I fade out into silence, bowing my head, averting my eyes. I feel her warm fingers under my chin tiling my eyes back to meet hers.
'Gil , tell me.' How the hell am I supposed to resist that?
'Sara, Ecklie escaped.' I feel her tense under my hands, I put my arms around her waist holding her safe and secure.
' He got out, two months ago. I'm sorry I never told you honey but, I didn't want to scare you, your so much better now I didn't want to bring you back down again. There so close to him now Sara, it won't be much longer before he's caught.' I pause, waiting for her reaction. She pulls away from me and stands in front of me, hands on hips anger blazing in her eyes.
'Two months? Two whole damn months and you never said a word to me?! Jesus Gil what the hell where you thinking?' I stare up at her all my words lost before they reach my mouth.
'I need to think, I'm going for a drive.' She walks off down the corridor, I follow her.
'Sara listen to me, we need to talk about this. Let me come with you please let me explain. Sara' I catch hold of her arm gently turning her to face me.
'I love you Sara, nothing I've said or done changes that, but if we're going to be together we need to talk about this, please.' Her eyes regard me warily, she nods before turning into the bedroom to dress. I wait outside for her to finish, when the door opens I jump to attention, she smiles tiredly at me. I reach out and brush my hand over her cheek, before wrapping her in a warm hug.
'I'm sorry Sara, I'm so sorry.' I mumble into her shoulder.
'It's o.k. I forgive you Gil.' I pull away from her and look into her eyes, she is so amazing to forgive me so quickly fro something so terrible is love I never knew existed.
'How about that drive then?' She asks taking my hand in hers. We walk out the front door, to the car, I look over at the bushes, I could have sworn there was someone standing there just now. I shake myself for the second time tonight and get into the drivers seat.
