"Come on, Grace. What's wrong?"
"Nothing".
Cho raised an eyebrow, his eyes still fixed on his computer screen. Those two were so predictable. Half a minute, and Van Pelt would come clean.
"Ok. I've paid a visit to Lisbon".
"I thought she was getting well".
"Yes… it's not her. It's Jane".
"Jane?"
"I had never seen him so upset".
"I expect he feels guilty".
Grace shook her head. "It's not just that… There must be something more".
Cho's remark was as laconic as ever.
"Jane can't afford to repeat the same mistake that caused him to lose his family. Yet he had done it again".
"Done… what?", Rigsby ventured to ask.
"He endangered the life of the woman he loves".
The astonished silence that followed made Cho look at his colleagues.
"Don't say that you didn't know".
Grace was the first to recover from the shock.
"I think you're wrong, Cho. Jane and Lisbon are just good friends".
"Just good friends. Yeah. That's how they've been trying to deceive themselves all along. Well, at least there's something good in what has happened".
"Being…?"
"Maybe they'll finally pluck up the courage to deal with their feelings".
