Author's Notes: Here's a short epilogue in Grissom's POV. The song I'd Do Anything is by Simple Plan. Thanks goes to Amanda for the song. All other notes and stuff are in the first chapter.
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try and make you laugh
I look down at Catherine, who's asleep in my arms. After the headiness of our conversation, we decided a light movie was in order. She fell asleep about half-way through, but I don't mind.
'Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I can't really blame her, today was draining. But as hard as it was, things that needed to be said were finally voiced. We needed to lay the past to rest.
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
I lean back my head and allow my own eyes to fall closed. Today drained both of us.
Will you remember me
'Cause I know I won't forget you
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
But as tired as I am, I can't seem to sleep. Instead, I continually replay our conversations in my head. I've never felt more tired than I did this morning, when she demanded answers I just couldn't give. And later, when she asked me about how much I remembered, I wanted to cover my ears like a child, and block her out. I remember everything, how could I not?
I close my eyes
I try to sleep I can't forget you
I once again close my eyes, and finally begin to drift off to sleep. The last thing I'm conscious of is Cath's slow, even breathing, and I smile. She's still here.
And I'd do anything for you
