Chapter 7
Right By Your Side
The grass under her feet was strewn with the fallen leaves. Red, gold, brown. As she walked with her head down, another dropped right in front of her. It was still green on the edges.
Kensi stopped.
When she looked up, she was suddenly back seventeen years. It looked as if all these years hadn't been able to touch the place. Never would.
Almost on autopilot, she walked the last few steps to her destination. The white tombstone was directly in front of her. The once spotless white marble had darkened slightly. She kneeled in front of it, brushing away the mess of fallen leaves from it. Placing the bouquet of white lilies on the grass Kensi looked at the name carved on the slab.
"Hey Daddy," she whispered, a soft smile on her face. She sat back cross legged on the grass.
Picking up a colorful leaf, she picked at the edges.
"He asked me out. Finally, yeah I know. I swear Callen muttered exactly the same when I said yes." She chuckled remembering Deeks' face.
"He's a good guy, no, make that incredible. He's smart, cute and owns a terrible stock of jokes. But he's someone I trust my life with. He's my partner, Dad. He's there everyday; trying to make me smile even though I feel crappy. I thought I'd never say this but I'm glad I have him. He has these incredible baby blue eyes, and his puppy dog looks rivals Monty's. I love him, Daddy."
Kensi blushed at the thought of it, sitting in a cemetery, pouring her heart out. She could well picture her father's expression.
"You would have liked him. I think you would've." She stopped, tears gathering in her eyes. "I miss you so much, Daddy. I wish you could've met him."
She sat there, till the sky slowly turned blood orange, inky blue in the far east.
"I need to go. First date and all. I think I might break my own rule," she said.
When she reached the street where she'd parked her car, she turned around to look at her father's grave again. She could almost see him standing there, leaning against the tree, a proud smile on his face.
Kensi turned away, a smile on her face.
