Keep a Song in your Heart
Courtesy of Nick, Sara learns how she truly feels for Gris. But do Nick and Gris know about it? Keep a song in your heart to learn the truth.
I own nothing, but I wish I did.

"Evening darlin'." The man said sweetly.
"Don't even try Nick. It's way too late in the day. I just got done with Greg, and I don't think you want to join him." The brunette in question answered hotly.
"Woah, Sara, hang on. I'm not Greg. I'm not even close to that level of despair." Nick answered quickly.
"What league of despair?" Greg asked, walking in. Sara burst out laughing, while Greg stared at her quizzically. "What's wrong with her?"
"Well Greg," Nick answered, suppressing laughter, "I guess she just had enough despair for the night." Sara laughed harder.
"Do I want to know what's going on?" Warrick asked, walking in.
"Nah, man. I'll tell you later." Nick answered swiftly. "Hey, Cath. Ready to go?"
"Sure Nicky, let's head out." The older woman looke ready to shoot daggers at Warrick, and Nick didn't want to stick around for the show. "Gris, we're out to finish this one up."
"Sure Cath, Warrick, why don't you go with them?" The socially inept man had obviously not seen the tension earlier.
"Uh,… Sure Gris, I'd… I'd love to." Warrick agreed nervously. "I'll just go uh… get my keys."
"Oh, no you don't Warrick." Catherine spat, "I'm driving this one." With that the trio left.
"Did I miss something?" Grissom asked, innocently. "Greg, I want you to grab Sophia and work the lab tonight. There's too much backlog from days, and not enough cases." Grissom turned to the younger man.
"Sure Gris, I'll do it. If we finish it do I get a case?" He was still hopeful.
"If something comes in, sure." Greg smiled at that and left to find Sophia.
"So… what do we have?" Sara asked Grissom, moving out of the breakroom.
"PD found a DB, 16, male, out front of a friends house. Friends name is Dakota Kelly, PD's questioning her now."
"I'll drive?"
"Of course."
You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair you know
To just keep me hangin' 'round
Sara stared at the radio. Nick had definitely been in here last. She watched Grissom cringe at the country music. Though tempted to change it, this song sounded interesting at the start. She wanted to see what it was about.
You say you don't wanna hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown
She thought back to when she'd told Grissom about her family. He'd watched her. Nick and even Warrick had held her close for lesser reasons than that.
And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
Sara's breath hitched. Was Grissom listening? She could relate so far.
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
Gris had done that. He'd shattered her heat. He had rejected her. She needed help and he said no.
You can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on
Why did she even bother with him anymore?
Don't concern yourself
With this mess you've left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you're gone
She would have to thank Nick for leaving country on. He may have saved her months of heartbreak. And some deep embarrassment.
And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
She doubted Grissom knew that there was anything wrong.
You not making up your mind
Is killing me and wasting time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
He would care.
And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
But when he learns that he cares, he'll learn one more thing.
Leave the pieces when you go
Leave the pieces when you go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah.
Leave the pieces when you go
It would just be too late.
