So let's find a bar so dark we forget who we are…

Kaile knew Lindsay was hurting so when she asked the CSI out for a drink, she wasn't really expecting a denial. The girl needed to forget, to forget everything that had happened and just get plastered while dismissing Don as inconsequential. If it was any consolation to either of them, everyone now hated Flack's guts, even Danny – the most surprising, since he was Don's best friend.

"I still love him, Kaile. I don't –"

"It's okay, Linds. It will be okay."

Don, she thought, what have you done?
