Thanks for the reviews you guys.
Over dinner on Grissom's first evening with his mother Grissom found himself struggling to stave off the questions.
'You know, you should have been a cop, with all of these questions.' He joked
'What? A mother can't inquire about what is going on in her only son's life?'
'Well there is really not a lot going on in my life at the moment.' He relented,
"Why the hell not? I raised a handsome, interesting wonderful boy, great husband material even if I do say so myself.' Kate Grissom continued the jokey tone of their conversation.
After sharing a small embarrassed laugh with his mother Grissom attempted to answer. But found that his mouth would not work
'You always seem to be very busy any time I call you.'
'Well mother that is true, I am a very busy man, I work 6 nights per week most weeks, I deal with an understaffed shift while trying to maintain our high status in lab rankings, I do research throughout the year as I need to be published twice a year or tour colleges in order to receive the research grants, that the lab relies on, so yeah I'm busy.'
'You work to much.'
'Yes I do, that is why I am here…to RELAX'
The hint of sarcasm in his facial expression as he signed made her laugh again.
'Well it is about time you retired to concentrate on finding me a daughter-in-law.'
'You want one that bad huh?' he asked turning more serious
'I want you to be happy.'
'I am happy'
'I don't want you to be lonely'
'I'm not lonely'
'Yes you are!'
