Chapter Six
The whole team had been silent for a few minutes as they all considered the different paths their lives could have taken, then Warrick snapped them out of their thoughts.
"Anyway, I'm starving. Where we going for breakfast?"
"Usual place?" Sara suggested, and everyone else agreed.
They began to file out of the break room. Catherine was about to leave when she noticed Grissom wasn't following her. Turning back into the otherwise empty room, she watched him sitting at the table reading the file in front of him.
"Are you coming?" she asked.
He shook his head. "I have some things to do."
Catherine nodded. Lately that was the response she had come to expect. "Okay... See you later," she smiled.
Grissom nodded and she turned to leave, but stopped. Turning back she said: "So, what do you think? Do you think we'd still have met if I hadn't become a CSI?"
Grissom looked at her, thoughtful for a moment, then shrugged. "I guess we'll never know."
Eyes locked, they both smiled slowly. After a minute or so Catherine broke the contact, smiled to him once more and walked out of the room.
Grissom watched her leave, and sighed quietly. "But I couldn't imagine my life without you."
