Can you keep a secret?
Chapter 28
Can you keep a secret?
I knocked on the door of Grissom’s office, and opened the door. I sat down in the chair across from his desk.
“Griss, can I ask you something. I am preparing a surprise for Cath, and I need to deal with some things is it okay if I’m away for an hour. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I think that everyone needs a break from this case, just promise me you’ll be back as soon as possible.”
“Can you tell Cath that you gave me an assignment of some sort when she asks where I am.”
“Sara, just go …” Grissom said while he bent down over a case file and started reading it again. He had probably studied the file so many times by now that he would be able to repeat what it said without reading it. It was something that I had been doing too. Trying to find details that we missed, of course there was nothing.
I walked through the corridors, passing Greg’s lab. “Greg, when you get a hit, can you give the results to Grissom, I’ll be away for a while.”
“Sure, anything for you babe …” He said teasingly.
“Greg!”
“Just teasing Sara, I know how much you love Cath.”

I sat down in the SUV and turned the ignition and drove away towards Jenn’s house. She opened the door just seconds after I knocked on it.
“Hi Jenn, is Lindsey still awake? I would like to tto yto you and Lindsey.” I asked Jenn, knowing that she was probably watching a movie with Linds because it was a Friday and she wouldn’t have to go to school.
“Yeah, we were watching a movie. Is something wrong?” Jenn asked concerned.
“Wrong, nope, don’t worry, this is something good, but I need your help.” Jenn stepped backward and let me enter her house.
I opened the door to the living room and saw Lindsey lying on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in front of her waiting until Jenn returned to watch the movie. Lindsey looked up when she saw me instead of Jenn in the doorway.
“Hey Linds.”
“Is mom here too?” Lindsey asked when she noticed that only Jenn followed me.
“Nope, she’s working, but I wanted to tell you a secret and ask you something.” I sat down at the couch next to Lindsey while Jenn took a seat facing the couch.
“Do you want me to leave?” She asked still not sure what to think of this situation, but too curious to leave. I nodded in agreement.
“Lindsey, you know I love your mom more then anything in the world right?” She nodded and wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.
“Your not leaving us like daddy did, right?” She asked, Lindsey was still afraid that people would leave her. Hence her question about Catherine’s whereabouts. I hugged her back and softly ran my hand up and down her back in a comforting movement.
“No Lindsey, I don’t want to leave you or Catherine. I t wat want to go back to my old life.”
“Then what is it?” Lindsey asked while she leaned back in my embrace to watch me.
“I wanted to ask you what you would think when I asked your mom to marry me?” I blurted out, I was so nervous.
“You want to marry my mom, I would love that but mom told me that you couldn’t cause I asked her if she would marry you a while back.”
“Lindsey, Nick from work, he helped me with a plan and we can get married if we want to. He and his parents offered to help us. They have this big ranch in Texas and they said that we can have our wedding there.
