Who?
"Don't you miss me?" Catherine asked Grissom while they were observing both their teams sitting together in the break room.
"I guess the silence you are emitting is my answer" She continued not wanting to let it go.
"You know I miss your..." Grissom answered smiling broadly, but not looking at her.
"I know, I know, you don't have to finish that."
Silence followed.
"You were my right hand, of course I miss you." Grissom said still observing his team and former team through the glass window.
"I was your right and left hand."
"Sara."
"I know, I know." She answered quickly not wanting to hear how Sara had taken her place.
" A wise man once said jealousy is not a fine characteristic to have." He said still smiling.
"That man probably never experienced love or any other form of relationship." She didn't look at him otherwise she would have noticed the change of expression on his face.
Who?
Who what?
Who said that?
Me.
She tried not to laugh out loud at his admission.
"How is she doing by the way?"
"Good, I guess. Worried, but good. How is Nick doing?" He asked as they both observed Nick sitting somewhat at a distance from the rest of the team observing the easy interaction of the others.
"He is getting better, slowly but surely." She said while she noticed Sara getting up and sitting down next to Nick lacing her fingers with his. She also noticed the small smile that appeared on his face as a result of Sara's action. A smile that was so rare these days.
"You know, she is good for him."
"They are good for each other." He said trying to suppress the still lingering feelings of love for his young employee.
"No regrets?"
"No regrets." He answered sighing deeply trying to convince himself.
