I walked in - you walked out
I knew right then - something was up
ya said 'don't ask me no questions - won't tell ya no lies'
it comes as such a surprise
think i'll close my eyes- to the pain
cuz tonight in don't wanna know where you've been
########################################
I'm so tired I'm thinking of falling on the floor face-first and just sleeping there tonight. But I better not.
My ears prick up as I hear some strange noises coming from my bedroom. Lindsey's at Nancy's and Eddie is…well there's never any guarantee where Eddie might be.
##############################
so won't you lie to me
then i can't be mistaken
swear that you will lie to me
i don't wanna hear my heart breakin'
###############################
As I near the room, the noises start to increase, and my brain identifies them. Or maybe it's not what I think it is. Maybe I'm just too tired and I can't tell what I'm hearing.
When I round the corner and stare into the room I freeze. I'm watching them, but I don't know why I'm watching them because I don't want to. Because I don't want to believe what I'm seeing.
Eddie. In our bed. With another woman. And they're NOT sleeping.
############################
tell me things that i wanna hear
i don't give a damn if you ain't sincere
baby just swear (baby just swear)
swear that you'll lie (swear that you'll lie) to me
################################
He suddenly realizes I'm there and everything stops. We stare at each other for a moment then I turn on my heel and walk down the hall to Lindsey's room. I pull her suitcase down from the top of her wardrobe and start throwing some clothes in.
I can't believe I'm so calm about this. I just caught my husband…the same man who promised me that everything was going to be fine…fucking another woman…in OUR bed.
But I am calm. For once I feel nothing. I know that later I'll feel pain and maybe I'll break down. But for now, I need to get things ready. Lindsey can't stay here. I can't stay here.
##########################
you walked in - i walked out
baby this ain't what - we've been about
if i touched your hand - would ya pull it away
was it something i didn't say
i forgive ya all - the same
but tonight i don't' wanna know where you've been

"Cath."
He's standing in the door. I don't turn around to look at him. "Is she gone?" I ask. "Yeah." "I'm going to be with Lindsey. You've got two days." "Two days to what?" Now I'm pissed. I whirl around and glare at him. "Two days to get your sorry ass out of my house!" "Our house," he replies. "MY house!" I tell him. "I'M the one that works to pay off the mortgage. I'M the one who worked to buy everything in it!" He walks over to me, putting his arms on my shoulders. I shrug them off. I don't want him touching me. Not after he's been touching someone else. "I don't see you anymore and…" "DON'T blame this on me," I growl at him. "Don't even think about it. Just make sure you're gone when I come back."I leave, throwing things into my car. There's only one place I can go; only one person I can talk to.
I steer the car towards Gil Grissom's.

you can't say the things you want
