She wanted to scream at him, pour all her grief into sound and howl it into the world where it would leave her. She wanted to hit him until her knuckles bleed, until she was bled dry and could bleed on the inside no more. She wanted to crawl into his embrace until his skin was hers and she could feel nothing of Sara anymore.
~ The Sound After Rain

It has always been an almost unspoken agreement between them that sooner or later, they would sleep together. It’s been sealed by looks, touches and personal space violations, a pact between her body and his.
~ Hush

The heat greeted her as she walked out again, and she slipped on her shades, protecting her from the sun's onslaught. It was going to be a hot summer a while longer, burning all who lived. Only the dead escaped it, a sleep of cold and ashes and bugs, Grissom's constant friends. And it was her job to make the dead remain sleeping, bring peace of mind to the living, offer the cold comfort of a sense of justice.
~ East of the Sun, West of the Moon

There is no atonement for life, but we may still be redeemed for the crimes we convict ourselves for.
