It was 2:30PM and Lindsay was finishing her last report.
She finally finished it and went to Mac's office to put it on his desk.
To her surprise, Mac was sitting in his office, doing something on his computer. She slowly opened the door, not wanting to disturb too much. She walked silently towards his desk. She put the report on his desk as quietly as she could, but apparently she wasn't quiet enough.
Mac turned to face her. "Lindsay, I've been meaning to talk to you. Please, sit down", Mac said in a low, but sincere voice. Lindsay did as she was told. She was getting nervous. Usually when Mac asked if she could stay so that he could talk to her, it would be very serious, like about a case, but this time it seemed like it was more personal, which made her even more nervous. "Lindsay, are you okay? You don't really seem okay whenever you are at work. Of course I don't know if you act like this outside of work, but I have noticed that something is definitely up and I wanna see if I can help. Even though it might not be me to get involved in my employees private lives, I want to help, and even if I won't be able to help you afterwards, I know from experience that you'll feel a lot better if you talk about it. So, what's going on with you?", Mac asked.
Lindsay shook her head slightly, "Mac, as I said earlier, it was stupid of me to get involved with Danny and he's been pushing me away a lot lately. I'm just trying to figure out what to do. Just give me a couple of days and I'll figure it out." Mac sighed, "Well, if that's what you want, then come and talk to me when you've thought about it, okay?" Lindsay silently nodded in agreement and left the office. Walking down the hallway, with her head down, she bumped into Stella. She quietly apologized and kept walking still looking at the ground. She got into the elevator and went to the parking lot. She got in her car and drove home.
Later at her apartment. She walked in and threw her keys on the kitchen counter as she entered. She threw her shoes off and shrugged off her coat and left it on the floor. She went into the bedroom, got undressed and went to the bathroom to take a long and relaxing bath. She finally lay down in the tub and got comfortable with a glass of wine and some music playing in the background.
After her long bath, she went into the kitchen to get some dinner. She opened the fridge and got out some leftovers. She popped it in the microwave and sat down on her couch. She turned on her T.V. to see if anything interesting was on. She finally found something that she could watch. A movie called 'A walk to remember'. As she ate her dinner she watched the movie closely and listened to every word they said. By the time the movie ended, she had long finished her dinner and sat in tears on her couch. She cried for a while, thinking of the movie, when her mind suddenly drifted to a new subject. Danny. She missed him. Not even God knew how much she missed having him around, but since Reuben died, he never let her in. She cried even harder just thinking about it. She decided that she wasn't going to let him ruin her this way so she got up and headed for the bedroom. She finished up in the bathroom and went to bed. She twisted and turned all night, but still, at least she got her sleep.
