Unless a really tough case came up, Gil Grissom had only 12 or so more hours to live. He sat quietly in his office contemplating whom he could murder, and how to do it, in order to have to work on Valentine's night. He was going to the mall immediately after work and if he didn't find the right gift.... well, someone would end up dead. He just hoped it wasn't him.
"Yes, Catherine?" He didn't look up, but he knew she was standing in his doorway.
*How does he do that? He can't hear me call him across a parking lot, but he can hear me stand still?* She strolled in and sat across from him. "So, off on Valentine's Day. Big plans?" *Let's see if he'll squirm!*
"Now why would you think I had 'big plans' Catherine? Aren't you the one who claimed I had no personal stuff. 'What personal stuff?' - I think that's how you phrased it. So why would tonight be any different?" He smiled to let her know he was not offended by her earlier comments and waited for her response.
"Well, for one thing, you NEVER take off on a day you think the younger guys will want. And another thing, I know you well enough to notice a lightness in your usually dour demeanor when a certain brunette is around. A certain brunette who just happens to have off the same nights you do lately." She sat back and waited, watching his face carefully as he toyed with his glasses.
*How much do I really want Catherine to know? ... How much do I want anyone to know, just yet? .... This - 'thing' - with Sara.... I'm not really comfortable talking with Catherine about it...*
"That's your evidence? A few nights off together? Come on Catherine, I trained you better than that!"
"Well, you know what they say, Gil. 'A good offense is the best defense.' See you." And she was gone, leaving Grissom to his thoughts.
Down the hall, Catherine grabbed Sara and pulled her into the break room. "He's all yours. Very defensive!" Sara headed out to Grissom's office. This was going to be a good night!
"I'm heading out. I have the reports for last week completed and filed. That should keep Ecklie happy for a day or two. So... see you around 7?" Sara gave him one of her special smiles.
*If she only knew what she does to me!* "OK, 7."
Grissom sat contemplating the empty space at the door where Sara had stood. *If she only knew.... * He got up, grabbed his jacket and headed out.
The mall was fairly quiet. Grissom wandered down the main floor trying to decide what to get Sara. He stopped at a coffee vendor. After paying, he turned and something caught his eye. He walked over to the store window. It was perfect! He finished his coffee, discarded the cardboard cup, and headed into the store.
