Epilogue
Goodbye Tex
Sara piled her books into a box, smirking as it filled. "Can you pass me the tape?" She had her hand held out to Gil.
Her companion offered a gentle smile and handed the requested item to Sara.
Sliding the box between her legs, Sara taped it closed. "Well…" She sighed, "That's the last of them."
Gil looked at her empty house. "It is." He looked across at Sara, reaching for her,
Sara pushed the box aside and slid to him on the hardwood floor. Her arms wound around his neck as she slid between his knees, her legs going behind him as she kissed his nose. "We're done." She said happily.
"We are and just in time, the truck should be here soon." He returned her kiss, planting it on her lips.
Sara smiled at him, staring with loving eyes. "When I first moved here, I never thought I'd be leaving you." She whispered, nose to his nose.
Gil swallowed and nodded. "But as fate has it, we were brought back together." He returned her hushed whispered, her loving gaze, matched with his own.
"I love you, so much." Sara breathed thickly, eyes sparkling before she closed them.
Gil leaned in. "Love you too; I'm so glad I found you." He breathed. His own eyes closing as his lips barely touched hers.
It took a second before Sara smiled, but he couldn't see. "Me too, so very glad." She pressed her lips firmly against his.
Gil pulled away, minutes later, eyes opening as he watched hers focus on him. "What time is our flight?" She asked.
"Two." His answer was simple.
Sara was about to speak but was cut off by her door bell ringing.
"Guess that's the mover." Gil stood, helping Sara up as well.
Once everything was loaded, Gil hit the side of the truck and watched as it pulled out. Sara joined him at the end of the drive way, their bags in hand. "Before we hit the flight, we need to drop my key off." She held his bag out for him.
Gil nodded and tugged her into his arms, burying his face in her neck. "Thank you for saying yes, thank you for being with me." He whispered, reaching into his pocket and kissed her neck.
Sara pulled back to look at him. "I don't want to be apart again." She licked her lips and admitted quietly.
Gil nodded and held up his hand, opening it.
In his palm sat a gold band, their initials engraved inside. "Will you- uh… will you take it back, accept being my wife again?" He whispered, voice a little shaky,
Sara blinked and picked up her wedding band. "You kept it." She breathed, looking up at him.
Gil nodded. "Somewhere inside me, I believed we'd be together again. Will you wear it? Be my wife again?" He asked gently, watching her carefully.
Sara looked down and slipped it on her finger. "I was always your wife." She smiled, leaning up and kissing him softly.
Gil relaxed and held her close as his hands ran gently up and down her back. "You're my life." She muttered against her cheek before pulling back.
"Come on, we have a flight to catch…. And Catherine wants us to go for dinner if we're up to it." Gil shrugged.
Sara rolled her eyes a little. "Alright." She smirked, pecking his nose.
Gil pulled out his car keys from his pocket and tossed his bag into the open trunk, along with Sara's.
Sara slipped into the car and buckled, smiling as Gil slid in beside her and started the ignition. "Ready to go home?" He asked.
Sara smiled and nodded. "As long as you're there, anywhere is home." She smiled at him.
Gil leaned in and kissed her cheek before pulling out and driving off.
The End.
I TOTALLY hope you liked this morning as much as I loved writing. IT's been such a pleasure. I hope you enjoy my writing. I am actually mapping out an idea for another fic. I have everything planned, but I'm looking to DUET write it. I'm looking for a writing partner. SO if anyone is interested, feel free to e-mail me. :)
Thank you to EVERYONE who reviewed and read this. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
