When they were all done writing, the counselor asked them if they felt like talking now. Greg stood up and said, "Sara is gone. Nothing has been the same since she left. We don't know if she is okay or not. We all miss her and nothing will change that. We just want her back. " The rest (except for Grissom) nodded their heads in understanding. Catherine spoke next, "Of course, we are grieving. We are missing one of friends. Not just one of our friends, one of our family. It may not mean much to anyone else outside of here. But, we are a family and it hurts when we can't have her here with us."

Nick started, "Sara is a part of us. I would do just about anything for her." Warrick added, "That goes for me too. She has changed us all. For the better."

Grissom finally spoke, "I feel that I must say something to you."

"What is it, Griss?" Nick spoke.

"I want all of you to know that Sara is okay. I do talk to her about once a week. I miss her too. I believe that Sara should be the one to tell you why she left. But know this, she misses all of you. You have all changed her too…for the better, in ways that I hope you will someday get to realize. "

"I think that would be nice." Grissom replied. "It's been a while since we 'hung out'. "
