It was odd how a few simple sentences kept tearing Catherine's heart down.

There was the one from Eddie, telling her he was over her.

Then there was the time the courts told her they were checking up on her mothering skills.

There was the time that Lindsey told her she would rather live with her dad than her.

Finding out that a man she'd trusted was really her father.

She'd stopped letting people in a long time ago. Even her friends.

But, now, Sara was in danger and they needed to find her.

Why did Grissom's admission hurt most?
