Gil pulled up to the cabin. Looking once more at the sleeping Sara, he got out and opened the door to the cabin. He returned and picked her up. She awoke long enough to put her arm around his neck and whisper "I love you" as she laid her head on his shoulder and went back to sleep.
As carefully as he could, he took Sara's shoes off after he laid her on the bed. He changed clothes quickly and climbed into bed, covering up the two of them. He snuggled up to Sara and fell fast asleep.
Sara awoke the next morning feeling quite refreshed. She lay in bed looking at him. She ran her fingers through his hair. She didn't want to wake him up. He woke up shortly thereafter.
"Good morning, Mrs. Sidle-Grissom, sleep well?"
"I did. I usually do when I am with you." Sara smiled at him.
"What do you want to do? "
"How about we start with breakfast? Then go into town and wander around the shops. And we can grab some lunch and go for a walk along some of the trails."
"What ever you want to do is okay with me. I'll go in and start breakfast."
Sara pulled Gil's pillow up to her after he left. She breathed in the scent of him that lingered. When she began to smell the breakfast he was cooking, she got up and walked into the kitchen. She grabbed him around the waist and hugged him.
They sat down and had breakfast and enjoyed the simple pleasures. Before Sara had been kidnapped and nearly killed by the Miniature Killer, they were more focused on other things. It made them realize that they had had almost lost one another.
After breakfast, they showered together which given the bathroom was a bit difficult. They managed it though. They got dressed and drove into town. They enjoyed visiting all the little shops and had lunch at a quaint little diner.
They returned to the cabin and went for a walk on the trails. The two of them walked hand in hand in the warm sunshine. They stopped every now and then as Gil or Sara noticed something and wanted to share with the other.
When they got back to the cabin, Gil took another shower and told Sara he had a special dinner planned. They ate the dinner by candlelight.
"This has been so nice, Gil."
"Anything for you, my love."
Once dinner was done and cleaned up, they went to the couch. Gil started a fire in the fireplace. They snuggled up on the couch. Gil sat reading to Sara. She was snuggled up him. He was holding her as she laid her head on his chest. "This feels so nice, but do you want to finish this in the bedroom?"
"Okay."
"But, I have a surprise for you. You go on into the bedroom and get ready for bed. I'll be along shortly."
When Sara appeared in the door of the bedroom, he was reminded that Sara had was beautiful, both inside and out. She was wearing a silky dark blue nightgown. "What do you think?" Sara said shyly.
"I thinkā¦that you won't be wearing that much longer." And that was true. Gil touched Sara tenderly, knowing just how to please her. They made love. Little did they know, their time together was drawing to an end.
