It took a lot for Sara to walk away form him. But she just felt smothered sitting in that room. How could he not have thought this far ahead? How could she let herself get so wrapped up in this relationship and not see that their future was doomed? There was no way that Grissom could choose between her and his job. And he hadn't even talked to her about what she thought. Not that she even knew what she thought, but they should have at least talked about it. Could she really give up her job to be married to him? Is it a choice she'd regret later?
"Miss, are you okay?"
Sara turned to see the couple Grissom was talking to at the midnight buffet. "Oh, hello. Uh, yes, I'm fine."
"But you're crying."
Sara reached a hand to her face. She hadn't even realized she'd started crying. "Uh, I'm fine, really."
"Would you like us to go find your husband for you?"
"I…we're not married."
"Oh. We're very sorry, we just assumed. Well, if you're sure you're all right, we'll leave you alone."
"I'm sure." The couple walked away and left Sara to dry her tears. She wished she hadn't told them she wasn't married. She wished she'd have told them to go find Grissom and send him to her. She just wanted his arms around her and him to tell her everything was going to be all right. She was so in love with him. There had to be a way for them to get through this. Swallowing her pride, she went to go look for him herself. But when she got back to the piano bar, he was gone.
