Sara's POV
I can see them in the hallway, they look cozy. I curse myself for thinking this way, I like Charlotte, she's only been with us for three months, she's really nice and is an excellent CSI.
I was surprised when I heard she was from Australia I thought she wouldn't be able to keep up with the hectic pace of Vegas but she has brilliantly. So, then why do I feel so uneasy watching an interaction between her and Grissom? It's not like we're married. At that I smile to myself I never thought we'd be dating either but here we are at the 6 month mark and still going strong. I don't think anyone at the lab knows about us yet which is great; I don't think I could handle the inquisition.
Still here I am staring at two people obviously talking about a case and I'm jealous. I shake my head and curse myself again. I'm sure I've noticed sexual tension between her and Nick, haven't I?
I go back to my break, only a couple of hours to go till I'm wrapped up in Grissom's arms on his couch.....

Grissom's POV
After talking to Charlotte I feel great, our case is almost wrapped up and that means I'll be on my couch with Sara sooner than expected... mmm Sara, I still can't believe that we're dating, dating that sounds so juvenile. I can't think of an alternate word at the moment so dating will do.
Back to Charlotte, I hope she's ok, I had my reservations about hiring a foreigner I wasn't sure she could hack Vegas it's a long way from the life of Australia. But still she seems to be fitting in perfectly.
Since Warrick and Catherine finally got it together and have shifted to day shift so that they can start a family, I thought the graveyard shift would suffer. But with Greg and now Charlotte working in the field and of course Sara and Nick everything seems to be running perfectly. I know Greg wants more time out of the lab, but I can't seem to find a replacement. I wonder if this Dan guy Charlotte mentioned wants to swap shifts? Hhhmmm
One hour to go till I'm in Sara's arms.

Nick's POV
I just saw Charlotte in the lab, at first I thought she was flirting with Greg but then I saw the look of annoyance on her face and I knew he was teasing her.... then I heard the name Dan??? I'd better go in and see what that's about.
I know Charlotte is a bit young, (26) but I can't seem to stop thinking about her and I have noticed that she may be interested in me.
I think it's time I asked her out.
I walk in and announce myself. I noticed that Charlotte immediately blushes and that makes me smile, I look at her when I talk to Greg.
She says they're just friends and I believe her, she does storm off though, I hope she doesn't think I don't believe her. I'll give her a few minutes to change then I'll find her and ask her to breakfast.
I say goodbye to Greg and head off to Trace.
Fifteen minutes later...
I see her talking to Grissom, I stop and observe them. I can't help but notice a slight resemblance between the two of them, they both have the exact same eyes and dark curly hair and because Charlotte keeps her hair short she looks even more like him, strange, oh well I'll stand here and wait till they're finished.
I look past them briefly and notice Sara in the break room, she's also watching them but with a concerning look on her face. I smile and shake my head, I wonder if she knows I spotted her and Grissom at Lake Tahoe last weekend when I was there with some buddies. They were all nuzzled up together on the beach, then Grissom started rubbing lotion on her back. I almost fell over when I saw him bend down and kiss her neck, she responded by turning over on her back and enveloped him in a very sensual hug, kissing and fondling. I laughed all the way back to our cabin. I was so happy they finally go it together and I decided to keep this bit of info to myself for now... maybe I'll get a chance to use it as black mail later.. he he.
I come back to reality when I see Charlotte walking away from Grissom, it's now or never.
