Snow can be seen softly falling from the frosty windows at this time of the year, and Holly hated this day more than any day of the year. The day her life as she knew it has ended. Her life with her wife, Gail.

Gail, the police officer, whom got Holly's heart when they met at that crime scene.

Gail, the beautiful brat, literally drove across two countries to knock Holly's front door in San Francisco to beg for another chance.

Gail, the amazing woman, proposed to Holly at the batting cages they went to as friends.

Gail, Holly's wife, bravely gave up her life on line of duty to rescue a little girl from a serial child murderer.

Tears slipped from Holly's eyes as she goes through this box of Gail's things she kept over the years. She allowed herself just this one day to look at the memories she had with Gail. She picks up a battered iPod full of Gail's music. One of the playlists on it is called Lunchbox. She plugs in a portable speaker and press play.

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired

Slowly Holly gets up and begins to sway along with the music. Tears continue to fall down her stained cheeks.

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

An apparition of Gail appears in front of Holly, but Holly's eyes are closed and unaware of her presence. Gail is still wearing her dress uniform and her hair is bleached and cut short just the way Holly likes it.

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Gail smiles at Holly's swaying and steps closer. Her hand reaches over to Holly's wet cheek but brushes past. The edges of her mouth drops a little as she realizes she cannot truly touch Holly ever again.

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along, to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it

Holly lifted one of her hands to her cheek and press it slightly. Gail always told her that this song perfectly explains how she saw their relationship and how it makes her feel.

Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

Three years of blissful marriage were all they've gotten and Holly would never regret a second of it. She wanted to experience it all over again, even if it means enduring the pain of Gail's heroic passing. These three years made it all worth living rest of her life alone.

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Gail took another step closer and her face is right in front of Holly's. Following the beat of the song, they dance together effortlessly. As if they've danced together their entire lives.

Oh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive

A hint of warmth breezed past Holly and she could've swore that was Gail's touch. Only Gail could make Holly felt so alive and she wanted to feel that way again. Only she knew that will never happen again.

You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
