Morgan felt her face go flush. She kept her eyes downcast and quickly maneuvered past Greg mumbling an apology.
Greg turned to watch her leave.
"Does she seem off today?" Hodges questioned standing next to him.
Ignoring the lab tech, Greg called out to Morgan before she was out of sight. "Morgan, wait!" He chased after her, gently grabbing her arm before she could go any further. "We need to talk."
Trying to avoiding eye contact, Morgan looked over Greg's shoulder to see Hodges staring at them. "Not here," she said pulling him into the nearby break room.
She shut the door.
"Morgan," he started.
She could feel the tears beginning to pool behind her eyes that were focused on the floor. She had to speak first. She had to take control of the situation before it got out of hand, before he could said something she would regret hearing. "Listen, Greg," she interrupted. "Let's just forget last night ever happened, okay? It was a mistake."
"Morgan," he tried cutting her off.
"No, Greg, listen. We were both unbelievably drunk. We should have never slept together. It was…"
"MORGAN!" She had never heard Greg raise his voice like that before. She looked up at him startled. "We're not alone," he quietly hissed.
"Oh, don't mind me." Morgan turned to see Sara sitting at the table hiding a smile behind her coffee mug.
"Oh, God!" Morgan's face felt hot, and the tears started to resurface. She ran out of the break room, utterly embarrassed.
"Morgan!" Greg called out after her turning to follow.
"Greg, don't." Sara's words stopped him. "Give her a few minutes." He nodded glumly. He walked over and sat down in the chair next to Sara. He leaned on the table and covered his face with his hands. How did everything get so messed up?
"What is wrong with me?" he groaned.
"Greg, nothing is wrong with you. She is just upset. She'll come around." Sara tried to cheer him up.
"God, I have the worst luck with women. They are either unavailable or completely crazy. And Morgan, well, clearly wants nothing to do with me." Greg sat up and looked at Sara. "Sara, I think I love her. What am I going to do?"
Sara gave his arm a friendly pat. "Morgan cares about you a lot. You would have to be blind not to see it. She is just confused. I know her and losing control is not something that Morgan is used to. I think she wants to be with you but doesn't know how to say it. Just give her some space to figure it out," She tried to reassure him.
Greg's phone beeped. Looking at it, he responded, "Well, so much for that idea. I have to find her and get to our crime scene. Our assault case just upgraded to murder."
