Sara Sidle watched the rising sun with a heavy heart. Rejection
hurt. Indifference hurt but to be kept out of the loop when you thought
you knew someone hurt even more. She had discovered that Grissom was
having surgery by accident. When she had asked him out to dinner she had
seen the name on the index card and had gotten curious. Grissom hadn’t
looked sick so why would he need a doctor? Maybe a case but Sara
hadn’t thought so. When she had phoned and found out that Dr. Karen
Roth was a hearing specialist Sara had known.

           
Now it was a month later and Grissoms’ vacation was over and he
was back to work, both Catherine and him acting as if nothing had
happened. Sara sighed and pulled out her keys, intending to go home.

           
“Hey Grissom have you seen Sara?”

           
Grissom looked up from the paperwork in front of him. “Uh no
Greg I think she was working on the Gordson case. Why?”

           
“Well it was just that I had her results and I thought that
maybe she would want them tonight but I haven’t seen her to give them
to her.”

           
“Did you try paging her?”

           
“Yes and it was turned off.”

           
“Cell phone?”

           
“Also turned off.”

           
“I’ll talk to her tomorrow night about that, in the meantime
put it in the file and leave it with me. I’ll make sure she gets
it.”

           
Sara flicked on the air conditioning as the temperature had
already reached the low twenties. She sighed as she drove thinking of
all the things she could be doing right now. ‘I could be a teacher
somewhere, nah too boring. Umm, a CSI at the San Francisco lab,
maybe.’ Sara went thru the possibilities in her head, wondering what
life had in store for her.
