She was never in love with Grissom. Not until she came to Vegas.

Fascinated, sure. Frustrated but never in love. He was far to 'Grissom' for love, it would've been like romancing a statue.

And then, Vegas.

She fell in love. She's not really sure how or why, and she only realized it a couple months ago at a café with dirty windows when Catherine drawled something that made everyone laugh, even Grissom. Amused blue eyes met hers, her heart twisted, heat pooled in her belly and she thought "oh,".

She really thinks she should have expected the whole thing.
