"Everything will be here when you get back. I'll drop the letter and your keys in the rental office on my way back." Grissom said softly, standing in the kitchen, his arms wrapped around her waist. "Nick, Greg and I will move everything while you shop." His lips brushed across hers and her mouth opened to him. He pulled her tighter against him as his tongue thrust into her mouth. Her hands tangled with the curls at the back of his head.

"They're at it again!" Michelle called in to the living room. Laughing, she tapped them on the shoulders. "Um, could you guys take five? We need to get going. I promise to bring her back Grissom, at least in time for the honeymoon!"

Karen retrieved her bag and the three women headed out the door. "I don't want anything too fluffy or ruffly. Nothing Scarlett O'Hara either. Something elegant.... long sleeves..... low neckline....not a lot of lace."

"We should call Catherine. If anyone can help find the perfect dress, she can!" Heidi was emphatic. Michelle agreed.

"Just one problem. Gil hasn't told her yet. We can't call her until he has. So I guess we're on our own here."

Everyone piled into Heidi's car. "So, Karen what exactly DO you remember about Wednesday night?" The car left the curb to peals of laughter.

"Not much really - just the important stuff.....the hot sex after the wedding! Your guys were so cute - the teasing never let up, but it was never nasty - just hilarious!"

"Whoa! Back up. Hot sex? With the bug man? This is a side of the boss I just have to hear about! Greg couldn't even watch you two kiss! He'll never believe you had sex!" Heidi laughed. Michelle chimed in, "Nick either! What is it about Grissom that makes them think like that? I've always thought he had a sensitive side...and he IS good looking!"

"I'm not going into details, but let's say he knows his way around female anatomy! I can't believe I said that!" Karen blushed and laughed nervously. "You can't say anything to anyone! If this got back to Gil, I'd die!"

As they pulled up in front of The Vogue, all three vowed to keep their secrets!

Karen fell in love with the dress the minute she saw it. It was the perfect dress! Coming out of the dressing room, she saw it on the rack of dresses to be returned to selling floor. "That's it! That's the dress I want!" The saleswoman quickly pulled it and helped her into it. She walked into he fitting area. Heidi and Michelle gasped. "Karen, that's the dress you described in the car!" The satin gown was long sleeved, off the shoulder and formfitting to a flared hem. The creamy color accented her red hair to perfection! "I'll take it."

The saleswoman helped her unfasten the back. "You know, the store encourages us to sell the matching headpieces, but I really think you'd be better off with a wreath of flowers. Your hair is so lovely, it would be a shame to cover it up."

"Thanks. I agree with you. Thanks for all your help. I'll take the dress with me."

"We can hold it here if you like. When is your wedding, dear?"

Karen giggled, "Tomorrow."
