Sara Sidle watched the rising sun with a heavy heart. Rejection hurt. Indifference hurt but to be kept out of the loop when you thought you knew someone hurt even more. She had discovered that Grissom was having surgery by accident. When she had asked him out to dinner she had seen the name on the index card and had gotten curious. Grissom hadn't looked sick so why would he need a doctor? Maybe a case but Sara hadn't thought so. When she had phoned and found out that Dr. Karen Roth was a hearing specialist Sara had known.

Now it was a month later and Grissoms' vacation was over and he was back to work, both Catherine and him acting as if nothing had happened. Sara sighed and pulled out her keys, intending to go home.

"Hey Grissom have you seen Sara?"

Grissom looked up from the paperwork in front of him. "Uh no Greg I think she was working on the Gordson case. Why?"

"Well it was just that I had her results and I thought that maybe she would want them tonight but I haven't seen her to give them to her."

"Did you try paging her?"

"Yes and it was turned off."

"Cell phone?"

"Also turned off."

"I'll talk to her tomorrow night about that, in the meantime put it in the file and leave it with me. I'll make sure she gets it."

Sara flicked on the air conditioning as the temperature had already reached the low twenties. She sighed as she drove thinking of all the things she could be doing right now. 'I could be a teacher somewhere, nah too boring. Umm, a CSI at the San Francisco lab, maybe.' Sara went thru the possibilities in her head, wondering what life had in store for her.

Little did she know that her life was changing already. A letter, a registered letter sat waiting for her at her house, a ticking time bomb filled with memories of the past, and full of life changing decisions.

Remember folks this is my first CSI fic so be gentle. I am Canadian so when I say low twenties it means 20 degrees Celsius
