A little one shot Sandle happiness, I was having a withdrawal. Reviews are my drug, feed the addiction!

She's so beautiful. Those hands, the way they combed through his bloody, matted hair when he was beaten. That smile, the way she sarcastically flashed it at him every so often. Those eyes…The way she looked at him She will never look at you that way. I turn away and face the window. It wasn't fair. When had Grissom ever been there for her? Who's shoulder did she cry in every time she was turned down? Who had loved her since the moment she walked through the lab door? Me. Hey, Sara, I'm in love with you! I look at the road in front of me, focusing on anything but her face. I'm angry, I'm hurt. Why didn't you pick me? Why didn't I go after her?
"Greg, what did I do?"
"Huh?"
"You've been avoiding me since I got back. And that's kind of hard to do when your in a car with someone." I avoid her gaze. I'm angry, so angry that if I open my mouth, I'm not sure what will come out.
"I'm still in love with you." Crap, I opened my mouth. She stops the car in the middle of the empty desert road. She turns to face me.
"What?"
"I'm still desperately in love with you, and I always have been. And then you left, with a note to Grissom, like I didn't matter, like I never mattered. I never did matter to you, did I? You regarded me like the gum on the bottom of your shoe." She's completely silent. "Well? Are you going to say something?"
"What am I supposed to say to you? That I sat in front of an empty piece of paper for hours trying to figure out what to put in a goodbye note to you? That I would sit in front of my mirror, trying to find a perfect way to tell you I'm in love with you? That I left Grissom because I couldn't bear going another day without seeing your smile? Just tell me what to say, Greg. I'm not good with words." Now I'm silent.
"You really love me?"
"Why do you think I left Vegas? Because I had Grissom and wanted you. Do you really love me?"
"Since the minute you walked into the lab." And leaning in, I do what I've wanted to do since i laid eyes on her. I kiss her.
