Watching Catherine trying to think of something to say, with her mouth imitating a fish, Sara couldn't help the laughter that burst forth from her. At first, Catherine looks almost angry at the fact that Sara is laughing at her, but then she realizes that she must have looked funny a moment ago, and then she too laughs.
Sara finally calms down a bit, and remembers that she is still driving, on an interstate no less. Getting herself under control, Catherine looks over at Sara, who has a flustered look on her face, attempting to concentrate on driving and not getting into an accident.
Slightly grinning, Sara looks over at Catherine. "Sorry about that. I couldn't help it. I hope that I didn't offend you."
"Nah, it takes a little more than some laughter to upset me. Besides, I haven't seen you smile like that in awhile. Is there anything you wanna talk about, or whatever, 'cause I'm here if you need me." It's the first time really that Catherine has actually wanted to help Sara. She wants to get to know the brunette so much more, more than what Grissom knows.
Sara looks at the clock on the dashboard and notices the time. She speeds up the truck slightly, and relaxes a little more into the seat. Catherine notices the speed change and wonders what's going on with Sara. But before Catherine can get the question out, Sara speaks.
"I know that you wanna help Catherine, and I would like the help, but it's been so long since I've let someone into my life, I don't know if I can do it again. Every person that I have let in, has hurt me. I don't wanna get hurt like that anymore. I can try to let you in and it may take some time, but I don't really know."
Sara has tears forming in her eyes, but she won't let them fall in front of Catherine, that is until she sees that Catherine is also crying, feeling so bad that she has treated Sara so bad over the last couple of years.
Catherine takes Sara's hand that is lying on the consol, and places it between her hands. Slowly bringing her hands to her mouth, Catherine gently kisses each knuckle on Sara's hand, while Sara sorta watches, while still driving.
