Grissom was in his office, pacing back and forth. He didn't know what the big deal was. He and the rest of the night crew go to breakfast together a lot. Well, not a lot, but at least every other week or so. So why was he so nervous? Well, probably because he wasn't intending to ask the entire night crew out to breakfast, just Sara.
"Am I really ready for this?" he asked himself as he continued to pace back and forth. Was he really ready to change the ending of their story? Could he turn it from a tragic love story to a happily ever after?
***
Sara was in the locker room, pacing back and forth. She was about to take a big jump. That woman from the car accident last night had really shocked her. She didn't want to end up like that. She didn't want to lose all of her chances. Last time she asked him out she just about ruined their friendship. But she had to try again. She just needed to make it less like a date. Breakfast instead of diner, it would be easier for both of them that way. She just hoped she could create the new beginning that they needed without sending their friendship back into the toilet. She took a deep breath and walked towards his office.
***
Now Grissom was sitting at his desk, with his head in his hands. He wasn't ready for this. He just couldn't change things between them. It was too late for a happy ending, they were stuck. Relationships just didn't work for him, that was just the way that life was. Science was his thing, not people. There was no way that he could make it work. Besides, he was probably too late anyway. She said that if he waited too long it could be too late; he just knew that he must have missed his chance.
***
Sara was outside his office door, but the door was closed. She took a deep breath and knocked.
***
Grissom heard a knock on his door and looked up. "Come in."
***
Sara opened the door and leaned on the doorframe.
"Hey Grissom. How's the paperwork going?"
"Good," he said standing up and walking around the desk. "Sara, I was wondering…"
"Grissom, would you like to have breakfast with me?"
He looked up startled. "Yes," he said smiling. "I'd love to."
They walked down the hall together in silence toward the parking lot. Each was busy with their own thoughts.
'A new beginning,' thought Sara.
'A happy ending,' thought Grissom.
And they were both right.
~You see? Wishes do come true.~
