So. This one wasn't all my own work. I had a wee bit of help from a good friend. Tis all good. So don't just thank me when you REVIEW to congratulate me:) tee hee hee.


Sara had been looking forward to her and Grissom's dinner. She had been back a year, and to celebrate that, Grissom had booked them a table at the swankiest restaurant in town.

For this special occasion, Sara had got all dolled up. She wore a long red dress. Around her neck hung a locket Grissom had presented her with that morning. In it was a picture of them both looking as loved up as anybody could.

A limo had been arranged to take her to dinner, as she was to meet Grissom there. Surely, after more than a year together, and more than 7 years dancing around each other, they were destined to be together?

Sara arrived at the restaurant and was shown to the best table in the house. Grissom wasn't there.

She waited 15 minutes before she started to worry. He must be trying to be fashionably late. Wind her up so she'd be even more pleased to see him. She sat and waited. Still no sign of him. She began to get an awful feelings in the pit of her stomach. No longer was she excited .She was now nervous. Had she been stood up? Surely not...


Sara kept glancing at the clock. Half an hour past. The another, and another. Her night had turned into a real disaster.

" How could I have been so stupid?" she asked herself over and over again.

After two and a half hours, and about a bottle of wine later, Sara collected her coat and left. She went out into the stormy night. She ran past everyone, the looks they gave her asking questions. Why is she alone? Why does she cry? Her gowns all dirty. Her face is streaked. Where has her lover gone?


So. Chapter One Done. I love this - what do you think???
