Photographs and Lies
3 months later (2 days before the wedding)
Catherine sat once again at her kitchen table, sipping her wine and holding
the invitation in her hands. She could not forget about it, no matter how
hard she tried, it just would not leave her mind. It had brought back too
many memories and feelings that she thought she was over, but were just as
strong as before. She had tried working loads of overtime to take her mind
off things, but it had just made her distracted. She was sure that if it
got any worse they would fire her on the spot, they had all but said as
much last shift.
She took another long sip of the drink, leaning back in the chair and
letting the cool liquid slid down her throat. She leaned forwards once
more and pulled another piece of paper from under the invitation. Staring
at the photo she could not help the tears that began to fill her eyes. It
showed the Las Vegas Graveyard Shift, Lindsey and Greg, standing outside
CSI headquarters. They all looked so happy. Nick and Sara were standing
next to each other, their linked hands partly hidden behind Warrick's.
Lindsey stood in front of Greg, his arms around her waist. She saw
herself leaning back into Grissom, both of them had huge grins on, she was
facing the camera, but his eyes were directed at her. She could still
remember the feeling it had brought to her. She could feel his gaze on her
and it made her body warm, she had felt safe and the happiest she had ever
been. They had been a family, they probably still were, but she had run
away, like she had run away from her family when she was 17, she had run
away from the family she had loved. The man she had loved.
She wished with all her heart that it had been different. That she hadn't
left. That she hadn't stopped visiting. With every day she had pushed the
thoughts deeper within her, but at the same time those thoughts had become
stronger. It had taken the invitation for her to finally realise what a
mistake she had made. But then, maybe she had known all a long; she just
never wanted to admit it to herself.
But was it too late? Had she left it too long?
She knew there was only one way to find out. She had nothing to loose.
She had already lost her family, and Grissom. Maybe this was her last
chance to get it back.
With a look of both anxiety and determination, she stood from the chair and
walked to the living room. Picking up the phone, she dialled. Finally
taking the action she should have years ago.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Only a quick chapter but I am putting on two at the same time to make up
for it.
Thanx for reviewing so far.
Please continue and tell me what you think.
