The following shift Catherine was paired with Nick on a shooting at a house. Catherine took this time to talk to Nick about the whole Sara thing. They got into Nick's car after putting their kits in the back seats. After about 5 minutes of small talk Catherine asked, "So, what's going on with you and Sara?"

"I was waiting for you to ask about her," Nick said nodding his head. "Well, she's with Greg, has you probably know Cath, but I don't know. Maybe when she realizes I'm not always gonna be there waiting for her she'll realize what she wants. Or like Greg nicely told me, I should lay off and just let her be happy and figure out what she wants."

"Greg told you that?" She asked kind of shocked.

"Yeah, he did. See, Sara and me got into this little, Uhh, fight I guess. I said some things I didn't entirely mean. I guess Sara got out of shape about it and talk to Greg about it. He got pissed, and came to me. What he said made a lot of sense. I am being controlling in this situation so I think I'm gonna just let her be until she comes to me." Nick replied getting a little emotional. He wasn't use to talking about his relationship problems, especially with Catherine.

"Do you want my honest opinion on this entire situation?" She asked.

"Of course…" He said getting a little nervous.

"Well, you and Greg both really like Sara right? Greg has her now. You want her. She broke up with you. Probably because of what Greg said about you being controlling. Girls don't like that Nick. So of course she went to someone she knew would appreciate her, someone like Greg. She just wants something that comfortable right now. Give her some time. I honestly think she'd pick you over Greg."

"You mean that Cath?" Nick asked looking over at her.

"Yeah I do Nick." She said honestly.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it. Hey, didn't you go out with that new detective last night?"

"Yeah, but nothing's gonna happen with that. I just thought it'd be good for me to actually try to get over Sara. But I couldn't stop thinking about her all while I was out with Crawford."

"Wait, that's her name?" She asked with eyes getting wide.

"Yeah, Clementine Crawford. Why?"

"That's who we're working with tonight." She said plainly.

"Well, tonight should be interesting." He said pulling up and getting out of the car and grabbing the kits. He than handed Catherine hers. They walked into the house together and directly spotted Crawford. She smiled at her, especially Nick. Catherine turned and gave Nick this little good-luck smile and than started to walk down the stairs to start processing. Nick followed while listening to Crawford about what happened.

Catherine and Nick did what they had to with the scene and has they were leaving Crawford called Nick over and said, "So when does your shift end?"

"Not for a while." Nick said plainly.

"How about you call me when your done and we can do something afterwards. What do you say?" She asked kind of hopeful.

"Look, Crawford-"

"Please call me Clementine" she interrupted him.

"Okay, Clementine, I don't think that'd be such a good idea." He said in a sort of apologist way.

"Why not?" she said in a loud kind of angry tone with her face starting to turn into a confused look. "I thought you had fun the other night."

"I did, but it's just I don't think this would work." He said sincerely.

"What won't?"

"Me and you," he said pointing to himself than her.

"It won't work because you don't wanna try Nick." With that she walked out the house.

"Great." He said to himself. He than walked out himself on in the drivers seat of her car to see Catherine looking at him.

"How'd it go?" She asked.

"Not good." With that he drove off to the lab to start on this case.

Later, after his shift he picked up one rose. He than wrote his little note to go with it. He knew Sara wouldn't be back yet. He heard she had a case of a woman being raped; she'd surely pull a double to solve it. So he put it on mailbox again where he knew she'd see it. He got back in his car and drove home to get some sleep.

Sara after pulling the double Nick was sure she would pull went home. She wasn't in the greatest mood from her case. As Grissom once told her theirs always certain cases that work people over. Hers was women getting raped and brutally beaten by their companions. All she wanted to do was go home take a shower and than go to Greg's. She parked her car, and got out. She walked up to her door and saw the rose. She grabbed it knowing it was from Nick, smiled a little than opened her door and walked though. She opened the note and read it.

Sara,

This is going to be the last rose I give you. 'Someone' has made see things a little clearer and made me realize some things. I'm sorry for trying to control everything. I know I can't do that. It wasn't right to you and it was probably better that you did take some time away from me. You need to figure out what you want. If it's Greg than I'm happy for you. I just want you to be happy Sara. I love you.

Nick

Sara wasn't sure how she should feel right now. He just told her he'd stop what he promised he wouldn't and said he loved her. She didn't know if she should be happy that he's going to pull away or be sad. "Why goddamn now Nick, why? Not only do I have that woman's voice screaming in my head all the time but also now I have the words of this note running through it has well? I need Greg." She thought to herself. She than walked back out her door to her car. Drove straight to Greg's apartment. She knocked on it and he answered with a smile on his face.

"Hey," he greeted her with a hug and kiss than let her through.

"Hey right back at you," she said.
