Summary: "Put your faith in me my friends. That one day I'll find a way to give all the things that you've given to me back." -- Put Your Hands On Me, My Love; Owen
A/N: Drabble 12. Follows "Thirteen Grand" in the "Save Me" series. Gil's POV. This is the last chapter. I know the whole story is ambiguous, but I decided that was best.

"We can't do this, Gil. I won't let you do this." Grissom saw the words tumble and crash as they spilled, trembling, from her mouth.

"You can't stop me Cath," he whispered, his eyes fixed upon her defeated form.

"I'm not who you fell in love with. I want to be. But I'm not." She pulled away, putting distance between their bodies - hoping, he knew, for the resolve to do the unthinkable - push him away for good.

"I'm not asking you to be."

"You deserve better - you shouldn't have to pick up the pieces of my life."

"But I want to."

FIN.
