Chapter 1

Gil Grissom stretched as he looked at his watch. Fortunately the shift was almost over, it had been a rough night, starting with a partially decomposed body found in the sewers. Trying to collect evidence had been a daunting task, but with a stroke of luck the woman's husband had confessed as soon as they showed up at his house to question him about not reporting the disappearance. "Guilt was a wonderful thing sometimes" he mused.

Eyeing the stack of mail and paperwork on his desk wearily he decided he might as well dive into it for a few minutes before his shift ended. After throwing away a couple of conference invitations he picked up an inconspicuous envelope addressed to him as "Private and Confidential". Noting the single ladybug on the envelope and raising an eyebrow he opened it, not used to getting personal correspondence at work. Pulling out the single sheet of stationary, with a ladybug border he began to read the typed print.

Dearest,
Days go by with thoughts of you in my mind, and I've asked myself what is happening? My heart said I should follow where it leads me, so here goes. Every time I see or think of you, my whole body shivers. I want you to know that, yet I am not yet sure how to approach you, but could not contain my feelings any longer. I love you.

Grissom scanned it again, not sure if this was for real, or if he was having a bad dream. Maybe one of the team was playing games with him. Rubbing his temples in concentration he looked up to see Catherine walking down the hallway, running for his door he called out for her, knowing she would be able to help him with this.

"What's up?" She said, surprised as he practically dragged her into his office and shut the door. "I need you to help me with something, I know this sounds silly, but well, I'm not sure how to take this." Gil licked his lips nervously.

"Oh it can't be that bad." She said reaching out to take the letter he offered her. As she quickly scanned it she began chuckling. "Someone's got a secret admirer," she teased him, waving it around in the air, "wait until I tell the rest of the team," she teased as she turned towards the door.

"Oh no you don't," Gil grabbed her playfully and wrenched it from her hands. "So you don't think it's anything to worry about?" His gaze was hopeful.

"Nah, just someone with a crush, probably harmless, sounds almost like a note Lindsay got from one of her classmates, she was excited until she found out it was the class nerd, but was able to let him down gently. Gil didn't look too convinced so she continued further. "Sometimes a person with a crush just needs to get their feelings out, and then it's out of their system and they can move on. But if you'd like I can go run it through trace." Catherine added, looking somewhat amused.

"No I guess you're right," Gil replied slowly, "it's probably nothing." He turned and put the note in the drawer, just in case.

TBC?
