Chapter 5 The Dance
As Grissom and Sara walked onto the dance floor, the melody of the song began to surround them as if to encompass them. When they finally stopped walking, there was only a mere second of hesitation on Grissom's part before he pulled Sara's body against his, holding one of her hands close between them while the other gently rested on her lower back.
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
To Sara's surprise, Grissom's hesitation was brief before she found herself snuggling into the warmth of his body. His hand holding hers, between their chests, she could feel her heart begin to pump faster, she wondered if he felt it. His other hand rested on her lower back and felt as if it was meant to be there, while Sara, slowly raised her other arm up and around his shoulder, her hand resting on the back of neck, where if she wanted too she could reach up with her fingers and gently caress the tendrils of hair at the nape of his neck.
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something
As the song played, they danced. Their bodies moved as one, and as a certain pair of onlookers watched, it was if they were seeing the true Grissom and Sara.
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
"Damn, he does love her? Doesn't he?" Warrick remarked to Catherine as they watched the pair on the dance floor.
"Ya War, he does!" Catherine replied.
"Well let's hope for the best!" Warrick said as they turned away from the other wise unseeing couple.
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something
As he looked into her eyes, Grissom realized that she was the one thing, which he would trade it all for. Now he just needed the courage to make her his. And with this affirmation firmly in mind Grissom pulled Sara even closer, while the song continued to play.
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

As the last chords of the song faded and were replaced by another song, Grissom and Sara stayed in one another arms, not quite prepared to let this moment go.
Sara never wanted this moment to end. For one when she let him go, the Grissom that was holding her so possessively would be gone, to once again be replaced by the Grissom, which pushed and pulled her depending on his mood. Why couldn't he love her, the way that she loved him? Sara didn't know what was worse, her past and the physical abuse that she suffered at the hands of someone she loved or the emotional abuse that Grissom was constantly putting her through. It was so much easier to conceal the physical abuse; it was too bad that Revlon hadn't designed a concealer for that as well.
As Grissom held onto Sara well past the end of the song, trying to figure out what he was going to do he looked into her eyes and saw the tears welling in them. His mind reeled, what had happened! The look of shock, must have registered in Sara's mind for before he knew what was happening Sara was pulling away and running for the door.
"What happened?" Catherine's voice asked from his side, as she made the short distance from where she had been dancing with Warrick.
"I don't know" Grissom mumbled.
"Well, go after her don't let her go, because this time a plant might not work." Catherine stated to Grissom's back as he made his way towards the door and an uncertain future with Sara.
Catherine looked at Warrick and they both watched as Grissom ran towards the door after Sara.
"What happened?" Warrick asked again.
"I don't know, but this is not good, why can't they tell each other how they feel," Catherine muttered.
"Maybe you should take your own advice," replied Warrick with a grin spreading across his face as he watched Catherine begin to blush.
"Sara!" Grissom yelled as he burst from the doors of the bar, to only find the empty parking lot before him.
Sara, didn't stop as she felt the cool night air slam against her as she quickly left the bar. This wasn't going to happen again, he wasn't going to let him hurt her.
Not now, not ever again.
