Hello again, my friends.

I apologize to all since I had to delete and repost the story. It was a matter of privacy, but everything is fine now. Thank you for your patience.

Sara was leaving the CSI building when a quiet sound caught her attention. Two women speaking softly, almost inaudible: Grissom and Sofia, dinner…

She was in bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking about the image she couldn't shake off, Grissom and Sofia having dinner together, laughing and looking at each other eyes. It was unbearable.

Grissom wasn't her partner, not even a friend now. But she felt he had been unfaithful, she felt betrayed. It was a dull pain in the center of her chest, pressing through it, her breathing scarce, a broken heart. She was now aware of the meaning of that phrase.

She hated the knowing that the only guy she thought was worth her tears, was not interested in her feelings at all. It was too painful to let him go. She was in love with him but he behaved as if they were strangers.

The next hours were blurry. What should she do? Call in sick? Ignore the rumors and confirm them later?

She came to the conclusion that work wasn't going to be affected because of her emotional state. She was sure nobody would notice her pain. However difficult would be seeing Grissom and Sofia together, she wouldn't let them know.

She was determined to let him go.
