Catherine didn't show up at the hospital for the next two days either. Steve went to visit Danny and was frustrated once again for not being able to see her.
"I asked for Catherine and the nurse told me she's sick," Danny told Steve.
Steve was worried. "Sick? What does she have, Danny?"
"How will I know, Steve? I'm not a doctor."
Steve ran a hand through his hair and Danny knew he only did it when he was nervous, angry, or unhappy.
"Go to her house," Danny told him.
"She lives in a huge building, Danny. How do I know her apartment number?"
"Steve, in buildings there is usually an employee called a doorman and there is also the liquidator. Did you know that?"
"You are so mocking, Danny," Steve replied.
"Come on, tell the doorman or the liquidator you are doing an investigation and ask what apartment she lives in," Danny told Steve.
"Are you crazy? The neighbors will think she did something illegal."
"Then I can't help you," Danny replied.
"Okay, I'll try to talk to the doorman," Steve said.
"Take her something, don't go there empty-handed."
"Like what, Danny?"
"Flowers, or chocolates, or a book, I don't know. Use your creativity," Danny told Steve.
Steve was thoughtful and Danny wanted to understand why so insecurity.
"I just want it to work this time, Danny. I really liked her, but I'm afraid of ruining everything," Steve replied.
"Ruin everything, Steve? You didn't even start anything," Danny said.
"I need to go to headquarters, Danny! Bye," Steve said and left the room. He just wanted to get away from this conversation.
Steve was driving toward headquarters and was thinking. "And if I go and she rejects me, send me away from her house?"
Steve saw an elderly couple walking on the sidewalk arm in arm. She looked very weak and he was supporting her.
"What if I don't go there and Catherine's really sick? She'll think I don't care," Steve thought.
Steve worked and after solving the case they had, Lou asked if Steve had a problem.
"No, Lou. I'm fine," Steve replied.
"You seemed distracted all day," Lou told him
"Do you mind if I don't get back to headquarters today?" Steve asked Lou.
"No. Tani and Junior are there, if any problems arise we will solve them," Lou replied.
"Thanks, Lou. See you tomorrow," Steve answered and left.
Steve managed to find Catherine's apartment number and it was night when he stopped in front of the door. He hesitated, but then rang the bell.
Catherine took a long time to answer. "What if she's with someone? I hadn't thought of that yet," Steve thought.
He decided to back off and was returning to the elevator when she opened the door.
"Steve?" She said when she saw him in the hallway.
Steve turned and went toward her.
"Hi, Catherine. Danny told me you were sick, so I thought I'd come here and see if you need anything," Steve said. He was nervous and Catherine realized that.
"Yes, I have a bad flu and I can't treat my patients like that," she said.
"I'm so sorry," Steve replied.
"I'm sorry for the delay in opening the door, I was getting dressed. You can come in if you don't mind getting the flu too," Catherine told him.
"I don't care about the flu. In fact, I almost never get the flu."
Catherine smiled. "Lucky you."
"I brought this to you," he said, and handed her a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates and a book.
"Thanks, but you don't need to bring so much to pay me a visit. Your presence is enough," Catherine replied.
"But did you like it?" Steve asked.
"Yes, I love flowers, I love chocolate and I love reading," she replied, and opened the door for him to enter.
