The sonnet Grissom sent her, well, meant to send…hopefully…was the best gift a guy had ever given her. When Grissom came back from his sabbatical, Sara eagerly welcomed him, but was still a little ticked off that he had only sent her the cocoon while he was away. She was upset that he felt he didn't have the time to write her a quick note, but then she found that envelope. The words that he wrote were honest and really expressed how he felt. Basically, he didn't write crap that he thought she would want to hear. Thankfully, Grissom had never been a smooth talker. After she read it, Sara was afraid the he'd find out and be embarrassed or upset over her finding it, but as time went on and she thought about it, Sara came to the conclusion that he placed it there for her to find. Grissom did get a little scatter brained at times, but never so much that he would leave something of that importance on her bedside table, unless he wanted her to find it. Grissom never asked about the letter and Sara never told him she read it, but after that night, things became even better between them than what they were before he had left.

Sara had just finished reciting Shakespeare's 47th sonnet as she knocked on the door to the office of Captain Brass.

"Sara! Hey, how are ya?" Brass said with a smile.

"Not bad and you?"

"Better now that I get to see you! Lab techs hardly ever make it over to PD and now you're a lab tech!"

"I know, I do miss coming over here," expressed Sara with a hint of sadness.

"You don't miss the cases though, do you?" Brass reasoned.

Sara pursed her lips and shook her head.

"So, is this a friendly visit or something to do with work?" Brass inquired.

"Well…" Sara began, "kind of both. You see, I'm…"

"Making a crossword for Grissom to help add trust back into your strained relationship?" Brass mused.

"How did y…"

"Catherine gave me the heads up."

"Ugh," Sara gritted her teeth, "has she told anyone else?"

"I don't know."

"Well, I knew when I asked her I was risking it being spread around the lab…"

Jim chuckled.

"To be honest Sara, its better that she gave me the heads up because I've had a little time to think of a clue and it's a good one."

"Okay, shoot."

"Well, you first have to promise that you won't strangle me…"

"Why?" Sara slowly questioned.

"Because my clue comes from a conversation you two had a while back that I eavesdropped on…"

"Brass!"

"Hey! I couldn't help it; it was at that crime scene of the accidental double death by chainsaw."

"Oh…" Sara said as she recalled the case in the head.

"I was just about to make a snappy entrance with a joke when I heard you telling Gil about how the case reminded you of how you two first met."

"Oh…" Sara said again, but this time lowering her head a little to conceal a blush.

"Yeah…" Brass added.

"So you knew at that point we were together?" Sara asked a little timidly.

"Huh," Brass laughed, "I've always known there was something between you two and hearing that conversation just confirmed it for me."

"I see, well I think I'm going to now leave this awkward situation…" Sara said hurriedly as she made a beeline for the door.

"Sara wait! You still need my clue!" Brass called out.

"Oh right," Sara sighed as she turned around.

Brass cleared his throat and then in a very official voice proposed, "Where did you two meet?"
