Gil sat at his desk staring at the picture of Catherine and Lindsey,
whe nhis cell phone rang.
"Grissom." he answered
"Gil," Catheirne called from the other end " On your way home can
you bring some milk?"
Gil looked at his watch " It's eleven at night why do you need milk
now?"
"Gil, Lindsey wants milk for breakfast tommorw and I would prefer
not to drink my coffee back, just bring some milk!"
Gil smiled to himself " Alright,I will be home soon," he paused "
Hey Cath?"
"Gil?" she replied
"I love you!" he whispered into the receiver and I have something I
want to give to you" he smiled to himself looking down at the small
engagment ring in the little black box infront of him.
Gil hung up with Catheine and tried to finish his paper work, he
looked at his watch again. " Ten thirty" he whispered to himself " I
could get used to working the swing shift for Catherine"
Gil pulled up to his house..their house and truied to reaherse what
he was goign to say.
"Catherine" he whispered to himself " You know...Ah dammit Gil you
love this women proposeing should not be this hard."
Gil shook off his frustration and decided however it played out
would work just fine nad walked into his house
"Catherine? I'm home!" he called, Gil began to walk toward the
kitchen when he heard Catherine laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked walking into the kitchen " I ve got.."
GIl stopped in his tracks when he saw Jerry sitting at his kitchen
with Catherine looking through a photo album.
"GIl!" she looked up and walked toward him " Jerry was just showing
me some photo os you from you're school days" she kisssed him and
took the milk from him.
Gil just stared at him " Whjat's goign on?" he turned to Catherine "
What he's doing here, at htis time a night, with you?"
Catherine pulled him into the living room
"Gil! calm down, he just showed up, I thought you invited him"
Gil made a face " While I was at work!" he snapped
"Calm down!" Catherine snapped back " What's the problem he was
just showing me some pictures.."
"Well I don't want him here with you while I'm at work, it's weird
and I hate it"
Catherine shook her head " You're jealous?" she questioned " Gil you
have to calm down, if you don't want him here then you tell him
because he has been nothing but nice to me!"
"Yeah, that's how it always starts, remember Eddie?" he commented
under his breath
Catherine looked at him tears forming in her eyes "You can be such
an ass sometimes, I 'm going to bed."
She turned and stormed off to her bed room, GIl turned toward the
kitchen to see Jerry watching him
"Gil, I didn't know you would be upset that I came over, next time I
will check with you first, I didn't know you were not going to be
here, Catherine called me, I just figured."
Gil stopped him " Catherine called you?"
Jerry didn't relpy ' It's cool GIl, I should be going anyway, I 'm
sorry if I got to you, it was harmless really nothing happened Gil."
Gil glaread at Jerry as he walked out and he to stomped off to bed.
