Title: Recognitions

Author: Linda

Disclaimer: I do not owe CSI, nor do I owe the characters. I don't even own Grissom. Good for him though, I wouldn't even let him leave the bedroom. :op

SPOILERS: This story is based on "Butterflied".

Extra Information: I haven't seen one episode of S4 yet and English is not my first language, so please be kind. I also would like to thank those who reviewed my other story 'Dinner'. I really appreciated it! I know some of you asked for a sequel, but I can't seem to come up with a good second chapter. It's kinda frustrating.

The cops dragged the suspect, Dr. Lurie out the interrogation-room, but Sara didn't noticed really.

She didn't care really.

She was still breathing heavily and staring into space.

She couldn't seem to register what just happened at the other side of the one-sided mirror.

Grissom was talking with the suspect when the doctor suddenly flinched and attacked Griss which was the cause of the black-eye he now had.

It was just not an 'every-day' talk.

It was a confession.

It was a confession of love.

Grissom was reflecting on the relationship between the doctor and the victim.

Grissom was self-reflecting.

Slowly Sara composed herself and watched what was now going on in the interrogation-room. She noticed everyone was gone, besides Grissom.

He walked slowly in the direction of the mirror to take a look at his now very black eye.

He stood exactly in front of Sara

He didn't know.

It was a mirror.

It was a window at the other side where Sara stood.

Sara bit at her lower lip and watched him closely.

It was a wonderful feeling to just watch him so closely without the prospect he might turn his head away or worse, run away.

Of course, he could walk away.

But he didn't.

He touched his eye carefully but regretted the action right away.

It hurt too much.

Slowly she raised her right hand and placed it on the wall.

Just at the same height of his bruised eye.

She closed here eye.

Imagining she was touching him.

She opened her eye suddenly when she heard him talking in a soft voice.

"I'm so sorry..

I'm so sorry I pushed you away."

She felt weird. This was ridiculous. He was talking to her but they where separated by this stupid wall.

She couldn't say anything back.

She thought she might cry.

She couldn't bare this anymore.

She was saved by the voice of someone else.

"Sara, there was DB found at the Monaco. Cath want you to come with me."

It was Nick.

She let her hand fall to her side and followed Nick.

She would confront Grissom later.
