It had been quite a long time since the day Sara stood in Grissom's door way and asked him out to dinner, the day Grissom shattered all of Sara's hopes with a simple "no", but like I said it had been a long time and a lot of things have happened since then such as Grissom's surgery, Nick being abducted and buried alive, Sara telling Grissom about her family and even Greg becoming a CSI there were also a lot of minor things but all of which have brought the CSI's closer together including Grissom and Sara. This was why Grissom finally felt ready to ask Sara to dinner, he wasn't quite sure what her reaction would be or what her answer would be, but all he knew was that he wanted a second chance and hoped Sara would give him the opportunity to try to fully restore the relationship they used to have.

Grissom was sitting in his office pondering on how he'd ask Sara out, they'd just completed a gruesome double shift working on a triple homicide and suicide within the family and knew now wasn't the best time as all they wanted to do was go home to bed. Grissom took his glasses off and started to rub his eyes leaning back in his chair when he opened them again he seen a very familiar blur in the doorway, Grissom put his glasses back on and seen that it was Sara, he didn't know how long she'd been standing there but doubt it had been too long.

"Hi Griss" Sara said with a slight smile "you ok?"

"Hi Sara, I'm okay I guess, its just been a long day. Are you okay I know this case must have been hard on you" Grissom says sympathetically, knowing that anything to do with a homicide within the family is tough on Sara no matter the circumstances in which it happened.

"Mmmmm it wasn't easy on me, but no case ever is, but what I do believe is that the minute you stop caring is the minute you stop being a good CSI" Sara replied never breaking eye contact with Grissom. "So what you up to tonight? I thought seen as we both have the night off we could go to dinner or something, try to forget about the awful day we've had".

Grissom was speechless he was getting a bit of de ja vu but he knew that this time he was going to make the right decision "Yes of course I'll go to dinner with you, what time shall I pick you up?"

"Erm say around… 8 so we both have time to sleep first."

"8 it is then where shall we go?"

"Surprise me" Sara winked and with that she turned around and walked off leaving Grissom in his office, amazed about what just happened.

"I think I need to pinch myself to make sure I'm awake"

Yeah I know this chapter isn't very long but I'm sure the next chapter will compensate for it
