Re: Eric & Calleigh #20 -- With Every Fiber... Of Her Pantie
I also think that she would end it. I don’t even think that she will need IAB to do so.
She has this deep sense of what is right and not and let’s face it having an affair with a close colleague is against the rules. In her eyes that would be hard to live with.
Then there is what the rest of the lab and especially H and Alexx would think of their relationship. I’m not sure she could handle their reactions very well and that whatever they will be (especially not with her and Eric’s track records). People would inevitably talk and that alone would cause her grief because she is a private person.
Then let’s not forget that she’s been used to be in charge from early on. From her back story, (yeah I still stick to that one
), we know she took care of her younger brothers when her parents didn’t. It is then inevitable that she will make the first step to stop the affair.
At this point I also think that Eric will probably offer to transfer to another department. He knows how much her work means to her and he will very willingly make the ‘sacrifice’. And being the one is charge she will probably refuse to see him sacrifice his career for her. If Eric doesn’t explain at that point that she is more important to him than his job, they are toast!
Calleigh’s actions always remind me of a French song which says ‘Fuir le Bonheur de peur qu’il ne se sauve’ which means ‘Flee happiness for fear it will escape’. She has been unhappy most of her life. When things started to take a better turn something bad also happened and she was thrown out of balance again. If things become too good between them, she will inevitably expect it to end. She is the kind of gal who definitely ends things before going in too deep. If Eric is not persistent enough, this won’t end well…
