Chapter 9
Grissom decided to ring Sara again but unfortunately for him Nick picked up.
"Hello."
"Hi Nick. It's Grissom. Can I talk to Sara?"
"You really think she wants to talk to you after what you did to her?"
"Nick, I never meant to hurt her! It was a stupid mistake!"
"That's ripped Sara apart inside."
"Could I please speak to her?"
"No." Nick hung up the phone. Grissom knew Sara was like a sister to him and he was only protecting her but surely she should decide who she talked to. He tried her cell.
"Hello."
"Hi."
"Oh hi. You know Grissom, if I decide to forgive you I'll let you know you don't need to keep calling."
"Sorry, it's just, you know."
"If I come into work tonight I wanna come back to you. If not…"
"Ok. I hope I see you then."
"Bye." Sara had some serious thinking to do. She had, um, 3 hours until shift started so she decided to go for a long walk.
Sara weighed-up everything whilst she walked. If she didn't get back with Grissom she would have to quit, it would be kinda awkward. If she went back would she be able to stick seeing him with his kid?
After walking for a long time Sara realised where she was, right outside Lady Heather's. Without thinking she rang the doorbell. Lady Heather answered the door, a slight bump under her dress. It made Sara feel sick but she hid it well.
"Sara? Sara Sidle isn't it?"
"I guess Grissom told you about me."
"Yeah, listen well, first come in."
"No, I'm fine here. Why did you do it? If you knew about me, why?"
"I'm not the one who's engaged. It wasn't a problem for me."
"We'll I hope you realise you've ruined everything." Sara began to walk away but Lady Heather grabbed her arm.
"You should have seen him afterwards, he was really scared that you were gonna find out and it'd all be over. That was when I realised what I'd done. Sara, I might not know much but I do know that Grissom loves you." Tears were filling Sara's eyes.
"Yeah and I've got half an hour to get to the lab and tell him I love him too."
