Hello. Yes, I know it sucks. But, oh well. If you don't have something nice to say, think of a nice way to say it.

Disclaimer: I don't own them. My birthday's in July if you want to send them, though.

The song is "How do I Get There" by Deana Carter. Again, I don't own.


Somewhere, deep in her mind or heart, she knew she listened to country music because it reminded her of him.

We've always been the best of friends
No secrets and no demands
But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue
I see a different light around you
One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you
And never let go, I need to know

She flopped down on her bed after a long day of work. It had been more or less uneventful, compared to some days. She turned on the radio, listening to a country station. She had kept this undercover, only listening to it alone, at home. She couldn't risk it, after scoffing at the comment he had made, insisting that she listen to it.

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in you lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there

She listened to the music, thinking about the lyrics of the Deana Carter song currently playing. She shook her head, but didn't turn the radio off.

You've probably think I've lost my mind
Takin' this chance crossin' that line
But I promise to be truer than true
Dreaming every night with these arms around you
I can't wait any longer this feeling's gettin' stronger help me find a way

She stood up, walking over to the phone, dialing her neighbor's number. "Hi. This is Sara. I was wondering if I could use your cd burner?"

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in you lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there

I know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line
But I'll climb any mountain that you want me to climb
The perfect combination is your heart and mine
Darlin' won't you give me a sign

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in you lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there

"Nick." He looked up, noticing Grissom. "Is this yours? I found it on the floor near your locker." Grissom handed him a cd in a paper sleeve. He turned it over, looking on the back, where his name was neatly printed. "I guess. Never seen it before."

As he arrived home, he remembered the cd. He put it in the cd player as he opened the mail.

"We've always been the best of friends
No secrets and no demands

But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue
I see a different light around you
One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you
And never let go, I need to know

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in you lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there"

He paid no attention to the mail as he listened to the rest of the song, waiting to hear what would come next. This was the only song. He smiled as he picked up the phone.

"Sara? It's Nick. I see you took my advice."
