I know that last chapter was kinda short, so I'm being nice and posting another today. I know, I'm too good to ya'll :P
Dinner was almost over. They'd chosen a small café/restaurant in a side street off the Champs Elysee, and Catherine had spent the majority of the time trying not to bring up the on subject she wanted to talk about the most. Thankfully Lindsey had commandeered most of the conversation, telling Gil all about Rome, Madrid and London, as well as school and the college she was going to.
"Uncle Gil? Don't you miss Sara, what with her being so far away and all?"
Catherine coughed, nearly choking on her coffee. "Lindsey!" She shot her daughter the 'death glare', a warning evident in the tone of her voice. She glanced at Gil, surprised to see the look of confusion he was aiming at Lindsey.
"Why would I miss her? It's been months since I saw her last." Both mother and daughter stared at him.
"You mean you don't miss your own wife? That's B.S.!"
"Language!" Catherine exclaimed.
Gil just looked even more confused. "My what?"
Catherine rolled her eyes. "Oh please. Everyone at the lab and PD has seen her ring."
"She's back in Vegas?"
Catherine had to fight the urge to reach out and smack him. "You know she is! She's been back here to visit you!"
Gil took a deep breath. "No she hasn't. I haven't seen Sara since I left Costa Rica when we broke up." Catherine gaped at him.
"But why would she tell everyone she's married to you?" Lindsey cut in.
"I have no idea, but I can assure you she's not."
"Why did you break up?" Catherine took a sip of her coffee, trying to ignore he hopeful happiness that filled her heart.
He shrugged. "Even away from the lab it still wasn't working. We both agreed it was for the best."
"Sara obviously doesn't think so anymore," Lindsey interrupted, earning another stern look from her mother.
KC likes reviews, so I suggest ya'll feed her if you want more of this fic (as well as the others I've kinda left hanging, plus another new one *grin*)
