[I have to idea where's Spirits so... yea just pretend
]
Greg took a sip of his drink and listened. Sometimes nodding.
He was juggling the idea of why he wanted to know. It wasn't his business what Grissom wanted to tell her... though he knew it wasn't about work, and turned out he guessed it right. So why he bothered to ask anyway?
Maybe he was just curious...
He noticed something lately, rumours, and he needed answers. He was tired of lying awake, kept asking the same questions to the white bedroom ceiling...
When he heard the words 'Me and Grissom were going out for a while' Greg looked down to the table in front of him. He thought finding an answer would feel so easy... but he just felt crushed.
He wasn't sure where the conversation going. He might not want to hear about it... It's never easy to hear the one you love talk about somebody else.
But he listened anyway. Like he always did.
He remembered how he once said to Sara that he was a good listener. And he guessed, that what he was to her, all this time... A good friend. Everytime Sara was down, he would find himself being there for her, trying to make her smile again. Just because he hated to see her sad.
He wondered if he ever got out from just being 'the good friend'...
Greg found himself watching her talk. He loved everything about her, even the way she talks. He didn't expect Sara would be so open about it. He was used to her keeping things to herself...
He remembered after Brass got shot, the rumour going around the lab about Grissom and Sara. Hodges kept nagging him about it. He just shrugged it off... It was hard to see them together, and even more, to find out about it from Hodges, who certainly loved to see the young CSI suffer.
At least now he heard it from her own voice... that was enough.
He had told himself so many times he would get over it. Time to move on. He figured he would have to. Sooner or later.
But turned out that the rest of what she said didn't end up that bad... She said it was closure. Does this mean it was over?
He secretly hope so. That maybe another door could open... for him. Someday... And maybe, he finally could sleep...
Greg took a sip again. She had just opened up to him, now he wasn't sure how he should react.
"So, it's over, between you and Grissom?" He didn't know what to say.
[Phew! That was the LONGEST post. And narrative
I seriously scare myself... maybe I've had too much coffee :lol:]
