"What about me?" asked Warrick.

"I didn't know you were here, sorry," said Grissom smiling at Sara as he left the room.

"Where's the love?" asked Warrick.

Double Cross – Episode 146 Season 7

Like a summer breeze floating across the water
Softer than a whisper on my skin
I can't begin to tell you how it moves me
It's so intense I burn within

When she gets close to me my emotions break free
And I just wanna hold on to her permanently
It's like nothing else my heart has ever felt
It's unbelievably heavenly
When she gets close to me

She walks across the room just like an angel
And I get that funny feeling deep inside
Pulls up a chair and sits down at the table
I come to laugh whoa there's nothing like

When she gets close to me my emotions break free
And I just wanna hold on to her permanently
It's like nothing else my heart has ever felt
It's unbelievably heavenly
When she gets close to me

Wow no one has ever touched me like this
Set me on fire with just one sweet gentle kiss
Amazing that's what it is

When she gets close to me my emotions break free
And I just wanna hold on to her permanently
It's like nothing else my heart has ever felt
It's unbelievably heavenly
When she gets close to me

Anywhere close to me
When she gets close to me

"Yeah."

"I'll see you when you get back." Sara turned back to her locker.

Sara looked at him and didn't say anything. He turned and left.

"So have you ever been to a place like this before?" asked Sara.

"I worked a murder/suicide at the Naughty Kitty once," said Grissom.

"No, no, come on, you know what I mean."

"As a customer?" Grissom asked shocked. "No."

"You've never paid for sex?"

"I have not. I find the whole idea very… bleak."

"Really? How come?"

"Sex should provide the opportunity for human connection. Paid sex doe the opposite of that. To me sex without love is pointless. It makes you sad."

"Well, I'm pretty sure I don't make you sad."

"No, you make me happy."
