Disclaimer: Don't own any character. Not a one.
A/N: It's short, but I can't stand to read really, really long stories that take forever to get to the point. What I'm trying to show here is that supervisors should not be sleeping with their employees. It's wrong, morally and ethically. I'm not bashing anyone, but it shows favoritism and ultimately strains many relationships and trusts in the workplace. No offense meant towards anyone.
The night has finally claimed Catherine. No longer does she feel like she matters. She lies awake, crying, alone.
Some things in her world are just meant to be. No matter what angle you drop that apple, it will always fall down. Apples will always grow from apple trees, not sprout out of the ocean. What she admired about Grissom was his commitment to everything he said. He was not one to compromise...anything. Sure, he does deserve to have fun. But he has crossed a line. Never in her life would Catherine have guessed that the one man truly loyal to his position would throw everything away for sex. Dependable Grissom has let her down.
Everything is confusing now. It is almost impossible to decipher her feelings toward these two. There is truth to what she said. He has every right to have fun, she has no means of blaming him for what happened. And she doesn't. No looking back.
But it's hard not to look back. What she remembers most is the pain. How bad it hurt to be attacked. She realizes that in that moment, there was only one person on her mind: her daughter. Her sole purpose for being on this earth. Grissom and Sara had been far away from her thoughts at those moments, like they should be now. At that moment, she figures out her stance on their relationship. Indifference. Catherine has never really felt a terribly strong emotion to either one of them. No hate, no love, no real passion. They were just friends, and she wishes them the best. Like Tina Turner says, 'What's love got to do with it?'
Finally, the closure she is seeking. Clarity. Acceptance. A sense of content. Things could be worse. At least her daughter is safe and healthy, and that is all she really cares about. She still belongs to her city, but that is okay. As long as her city helps her to support her daughter, that will be okay with her.
