Horatio crumpled up the paper and calmly walked back into his office before he lost it. He took several calming breaths and then went home. He flipped the TV on, but turned the sound down.
He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he heard someone knock softly at the back door, and went to it. He peeked through the curtains and saw a figure out there. He carefully opened the door and saw the blonde hair: Calleigh.
He opened the door and she breezed through. He shut and locked the door, and then turned to face her.
"Calleigh," He said, his breath ragged. She smiled and put a hand on his shoulder, saying,
"Horatio,"
He put a hand to her cheek and swallowed. She smiled at him, and he tried to smile back. She looked deep in his eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him, needing the closeness.
"I'm here, Horatio, I'm here for good,"
"For good?"
"Yeah, for good," She answered, and backed up slightly. He bent his head and pressed his lips to hers, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They fell backwards onto the couch and he pulled her close, just needing her close.
She sensed that, and settled her head on his chest, and whispered,
"I'm not leaving, Horatio,"
"Good," He murmured, his head resting on hers, and they drifted off to sleep like that.
A week later, Horatio and the team received word that the guy that had masterminded the so called 'Hit List' against the lab had mysteriously disappeared. When they heard that, they looked at Calleigh and she shrugged and said,
"I'm not supposed to say anything, but he won't be bothering us EVER again, that's for sure,"
They all shrugged and smiled and went back to work.
That night, Horatio went to find Calleigh, who was getting ready to leave.
"Hi," He said, and she looked at him and replied,
"Hey,"
"Um, Calleigh, I was wondering,"
"Wondering what?"
"I was wondering, if you were as hungry as I am,"
"Probably," She laughed, and he smiled and said,
"Well, would you like to, grab something to eat?"
"With you?"
"Uh, yeah,"
"I would love that," She said, smiling warmly at him, and he smiled back. She shut her locker and walked out with him, going on their first date of many.
The End.
