please review!


I am walking out the door feeling hurt. I just don't get him sometimes. I know he feels the same way, he basically just admitted it! So why did he say no? I think that I might just give up. I gave him his chance, right? Oh who am I kidding? It'll never really be too late....

Sara? Sara, wait! That voice. How can I stay mad? I turn to hear him out. Look, if things were different, I'd know exactly what to do. I'd have asked you out a long time ago. But Sara, I am your supervisor, your boss. I can't just go around dating my employees.
I don't know whether to be happy or angry. Oh, so I am just your employee, huh? I don't even know if that came out as mean or as halfhearted.
Look, you know that isn't how I see you, Sara, but that is how my superiors see it. We could both lose our jobs. I..I just don't know what to do about this.
You said that already, Gris. And I said that I do. Go to dinner with me. You aren't going to get fired for eating with me. I am so frustrated, that I can hardly get the words out.
Not for eating with you, but for what I want to do after that..
I hear the gasp escape from my mouth. My mind races trying to think of exactly what Gil Grissom wants to do with me. I don't know what to say to him, so I just stare into his beautiful blue eyes. He stares back at my brown ones. Finally I get out a few words. Look, Gil, I use his first name for emphasis. Why don't we just see where it leads? We could keep it a secret if it works out...we just need to do this, you know?
Sara, if I am with you, I don't want to keep it secret. His words make my mouth curl up in a half grin. As I open the door to my car, he looks distraught.
Sara, please don't leave, just..please just understand me.
I just look at him as I take a book out of my seat and start thumbing through it. Grissom looks very confused.
What are you doing? I thought--wait. Is that the handbook?
It sure is. I say as I reach the page I am looking for. Grissom raises his eyebrow at me. I love it when he does that. You know, it says here that dating is permitted as long as it doesn't interfere with work--
Grissom's words cut me off. Lets go have some dinner.
