Note From The Author—Okay, so I'm jumping on this shuffle bandwagon. I wanted to see if I could pull it off. I willingly admit that I wasn't quite good enough and had to pause to finish these, and also that I skipped a song because a ten at night after a full day of school and work I couldn't even figure out what the Hollies song that came up meant, let alone write a story about it. I hope this came out okay and that you enjoy, even though they're pretty rough.
Disclaimer—I do not own the characters of CSI: NY nor do I own any of the songs used here as inspiration. They are credited with title and artist.
I Am a Rock- Simon and Garfunkel
For so long she'd believed she needed to be by herself. In her experience things turned out better when she was solitary. Every time she opened herself to someone it caused nothing but pain, so she closed off. She was an island, all by herself in the ocean of the world.
Talking of love didn't help any. Love and her obviously weren't friends, as her track record showed. She figured love was something for the movies, not something for a typical CSI like her. Her love life was pretty much non-existent, and she figured that's the way it would always be. Alone was the way she lived, and alone she wouldn't feel the pain. She never thought that anyone would make her long to be a part of the throng again, to be a part of a duo.
Then she collided with Don Flack.
