DID I REALLY SEE THAT?

Cath slowly made her way to the break room, it had been a long boring shift. To say that she was pleased that it was almost over was a huge understatement. As she walked in she saw Warrick and Nick playing on the PS and Greg was at the table hunched over his coffee.
"I guess you guys have been as busy as I have been." She commentated, as she sat down next to Greg.
"Mm."
"Yep."
Greg looked up and smiled at Cath.
"Are you joining us for breakfast today?" he asked," Sara has already cried off saying she had an appointment!"
"I'd love to but I've got to get Lindsey some new clothes and other bits. How about tomorrow?" answered Cath.
"Okay, at least tomorrow we will all be there. Sara and Grissom can both make it then."
"Speaking of our illustrious leader where is he?" Cath turned to look down the corridor towards his office. "I haven't seen him all night."
Nick looked up and answered,
"He's got court today so he left early to go over his notes."
"Yeah right." Muttered Warrick, "Never heard it called that before!"
Cath turned sharply towards Warrick.
"Spill. What do you know?" she asked.
Warrick turned off the PS and looked at Cath and the guys.
"Nothing, but have you noticed that he's changed? The beard has gone, he's lost weight and he goes home at the end of shift!"
"True," agreed Nick and Greg nodded in agreement.
"Grissom's got a girlfriend? He's not told me anything!" huffed Cath. "Oh well I'll see what I can get out of him later. The mall is shouting my name guys. See you later." With that Cath stood up and left them talking about Grissom and who his mystery lady friend was.
Twenty minutes later Cath was inside her favourite mall wandering around window shopping. She had told Greg a little white lie when she said that she had to get Lindsey some stuff. She just didn't fancy breakfast with the guys. As she paused to look in a window she caught sight of somebody walking past in a hurry. Cath had to look again to make sure that she wasn't seeing things. She wasn't, it was definitely Sara.
Looks like I wasn't the only one to make up an excuse about breakfast, thought Cath instantly feeling better. Shall I shout her? Nah, I'll wait, I must admit I though Sara hated shopping.
Cath slowly made her way past the shops, not really looking at much. Without realizing it, she had followed Sara. Cath paused as she saw her go into Victoria's Secret and a small smile came over her face.
Looks like Grissom isn't the only one who has got a life. Wonder what else she's buying, thought Cath as she turned to look discreetly in the next shop window.
Ten minutes later she saw Sara leave the shop, look at her watch and hurry towards the escalator. Cath's curiosity was well intrigued now, so she quietly followed, keeping a safe distance away. As she reached the top of the escalator Cath's cell phone went off. She stepped to the side and answered it.
"Willows."
"Hey, Linds… Okay I'll pick some up… I'll be about a hour…Bye." With that she hung up her phone. "Damn where did she go?" In the few minutes of conversation Cath had lost sight of Sara.
Well she can't have gone far. There's not that many shops up here, she thought as she slowly wandered to the nearest shop. Cath looked in window after window looking for the tall brunette but there wasn't any sign of her anywhere.
Damn she must have gone downstairs again. I'll look in those couple of windows over there and then I'll have to go. Hopefully if I fine her I'll be able to convince her that I bumped into her by accident, then I will grill her over coffee. Cath smiled at her plan.
Cath had almost given up all hope of finding Sara when she looked into the last shop window. To be honest she wasn't expecting to see Sara in this shop as it was an evening wear/bridal shop. Needless to say her jaw hit the floor when through the window she caught sight of her prey.
"OH MY GOD!" she squealed. Not only had she found Sara but she was stunned with what she was trying on..
Cath couldn't help herself and she slowly pushed open the door. She went quietly inside and walked up to where the changing area and Sara were.
"Sara." She whispered not wanting to scare the brunette.
Sara spun around in shock.
"Cath! Oh God!" Sara's hand flew to her mouth.
Cath stood there, taking in the stunning sight before her. Sara stood there in an ivory wedding dress, with one of her trademark scarves around her neck. Only this time the scarf was even more beautiful than the dress. It seemed to shimmer in the light and when you looked closely you could see small iridescent butterflies all over it. Cath smiled as lots of little things fell into place.
"You look beautiful Sara. Gil will love what you are wearing and I'm damn sure he loves you!" she said.
"What! How did you know?" Sara stuttered, "We've not told anyone."
"Sara, the scarf has just told me everything. You really do look stunning." Cath was a bit shocked at the emotion in her voice. "When's the wedding?"
Sara smiled
"Next week, you will all get your invitations tonight but they don't say who is getting married to Gil. You can't tell anyone, promise" Sara giggled.
"Oh I think that this is one secret I will be able to keep. Now what are you going to do with your hair?" Cath asked as she looked at Sara.
Sara shook her head in disgust.
"I don't know! They want me to wear it up to show off the scarf but I'm not sure. What do you think?"
Cath walked closer and had a good look at the scarf. It truly was lovely.
"Well Gil loves your hair curly, why not get some of those slides over there and I'll sort it out for you on the day?"
"Would you? Oh thanks Cath." Sara said as tears formed in her eyes.
"You can cut that out! Now it will cost you, you do realize that don't you?"
Sara looked up.
"How? What do you mean?" she spluttered.
Cath smiled at her and gently pushed her towards the changing room.
"You are going to get changed back into normal clothes and then over a coffee or two you are going to tell me everything. I want all the details and I mean ALL Sara Sidle!" Cath said, while thinking that way I can gloat and lord it over the guys for ages!
Sara laughed and went to get changed, although just before she closed the curtain she turned to Cath and said.
"I'll tell most but there are definitely some details that stay between Gil and myself!"
