It had been two full days since Catherine had seen Gil and Gil.Catherine.
He went to work and tried to pretend like everything was fine. He never really had Catherine to begin with but he couldn't figure out what it hurt so bad to olose her. He had to make it right.
Gil got in his tahoe and began to drive. He circled her block twice unable to bring himself to stop and then he heard it.
Catherine had gotten Lindsey off to school and was sitting on her couch wondering what to do to past the time. She could cry but she had been doing that since she ran out of the restaurant and she thought it was time for a change. However she didn't move from the couch and the tears made there way back.
Only a few moments passed when she heard someone on her front step and opened her front door to investigate.
No one was there. " Figures" she whispered to herself ready to close the door, the she saw it. A small package marked CATHERINE.
She quickly pikced it up and took it back inside.
There was a letter and a compact disc. She unfolded the letter and read:
Catherine,
I know your probably mad at me and don't want to hear or see me. I thought to my self and decided that was probably best seeing as how the last two times I was with you I messed up really bad. I have never been a man who was really good with words so I thought maybe a letter would work. You may be wondering what the cd is all about. There's is a song on it. I heard it while I was wallowing over you...that's right wallowing. The truth is ,it has been hell for me to sit on the sidelines and watch you live your life without me, and then that night at the club Chris was all over you. You deserve better. You said something to me in the parking lot about there being a chance I might hurt you. I would never do that intentionally, when you are hurting I am hurting. I would never what to cause any pain for you. So anyway listen to the song, I am hoping it can let you know how I feel...I don't want to screw up again.
Your friend,
Gil Grissom
Catherine smiled to herself . So he could be normal when he wanted.
She headed toward the stereo and popped in the disc. She sat back on her couch and listened.
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
Catherine waited until the song finished. She knew he loved her song or no song. She knew he never would hurt her..not intentionally. And even it he did, never would it be like what Eddie or Chris put her through.
Catherine got up from the couch and grabbed her keys. She had to see him. She swung open the front door and there he stood on the door step.
"Gil?"
