Sara's Point of View

It took 9 years to get the man of my dreams! We worked together for the longest time, and he was so afraid to let me in, because it was against work policies. I tried so many times to get him to open up, and let me in but he wouldn't budge. It all started with a simple phone call. He asked me if I could come to work one night, and since I normally work day shift, it felt quite odd.

I got to work and realized that it wasn't work at all, it was a party because I was being promoted to CSI 8. Everybody greeted me with open arms, and a bottle of wine. I felt very nausious after the first four drinks, and Grissom offered to drive me home. At first I hesitated but then he grabbed my hand and took me to his car. "I need to talk to you," he said, pulling me torwards him "What?" I aksed, not sure what to expect. "I wanted to talk about us," I was shocked because he never wanted to talk about what happened between us over the summer.

We were talking about death, and I told him that my mother and father had died, and I started crying. He held me close, and then I looked up at him to thank him, and he kissed me! After that, I didn't really talk to him because I knew it would be aqward.

"What? I know that you don't want to be with me because you didn't talk to me after that night." Grissom said, and I could tell that he was getting frustrated. "Yes I do, but you are the one who always pulls away! You don't even give me a chance to explain how I feel for you." Now he could tell that I was getting angry. " You don't understand!", Grissom was never the type to let me in, and now I felt I had a chance. "Then make me understand. Please. I just want to be trusted." "Sara, it's not that simple. Just come with me and I can explain it to you there." I didn't know where we were going but I didn't care because I would follow him anywhere.

We went up to his apartment and he made me hot chocolate because it was mid-December. At first, I didn't know how to make sense of this, but then I realized that Grissom just wanted to help me.

I had been In a car accident about five years ago and I isolated myself from everybody, even my family. My mother and father were fighting, and it was snowing very badly. Needless to say, we got into an accident and the last thing I said to them was "Sometimes I wonder how I ever deal with you two! I wish you two would either grow up or get out of my life!"

Grissom didn't understand what it was like to lose someone he loved. "Why did you bring me here? What is this about?" I asked. "To make you believe…..in fairytales." Grissom said, inching towards me as I inched away. "What? What….What are you talking about? Who are you?" I asked, keeping my tears from falling. "Grissom. You know your lover?" Grissom was changing into something I didn't recognize, hypothetically, and literally. He was gaining fangs, claws, and horns. "I'm l….leaving." I said as I started backing up towards the door. "No you are not. You are going to stay with me forever." His voice seemed to be getting deeper and scarier within the minute. "No!" I woke up screaming and kicking until I fell out of bed.
