Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

Sadie slept peacefully the entire drive to Sara's apartment. Greg, initially expecting to be working, was wide-awake. Sara was musing over the information that Jewleigh had provided her. When they arrived at Sara's apartment, Greg helped carry Sadie to the bedroom. Sara helped Greg tuck Sadie into bed.

"Do you want to stay for a bit? Maybe watch a movie or something?" Sara asked as they made their way out to the living room.

"Sure, I brought 'The Lion King', so you could finally see it!" Greg held up the DVD excitedly.

"Don't you think that's a little young for us?" Sara asked rolling her eyes.

"Well, what do you have?" Greg asked as he searched though Sara's minimal selection of DVD's. Greg picked out a suspense movie he hadn't seen. "What about this?"

"Ok, but you can't laugh at me when I get jumpy." Sara warned. Greg put the DVD in and sat down on the couch with Sara. Greg realized Sara hadn't been kidding she was extremely jumpy. By the end of the movie, Sara was snuggled up close to Greg. Not wanting to lose contact, Greg let Sara make the first move.

"I'm um… sorry for being so jumpy." Sara said as she detached herself from Greg. She had been so comfortable, leaned up against Greg with his arm around her. She knew she shouldn't think anything of it, they were just friends, but she was enjoying it, and knew she wanted more. "Hey, I'm a little scared to sleep right now… you know, the movie and all… um… would you still want to watch 'The Lion King'?" Sara asked.

"Sure, I'd love to, plus I'm still wide awake." Greg tried to reply calmly. He would have stayed to watch one of Grissom's experiments grow if it meant he'd be able to snuggle with Sara again. Sara changed the DVD and climbed back onto the couch. To Greg's surprise, and enjoyment, she climbed back into the position she had just been in. Greg wrapped his arm around her shoulders and started to play idly with her hair. Sara laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his waist. They sat comfortably just watching the movie. When Tumone and Pumba began to sing "Hakuna Matata" Greg released his grip on Sara and pointed at the tv.

"Oh, oh, this is the part, the thing I was saying earlier." Sara didn't know weather to laugh at the tv or at the childish way Greg was suddenly acting. By the end of the song, both Sara and Greg were laughing hysterically. Calming down they repositioned themselves on the couch. Ignoring the movie, Sara turned to Greg and said.

"Thank you, for everything."

"It's been my pleasure." Greg said quietly. Greg and Sara's eyes met and they stared at one another for a long moment. Slowly the both leaned in and kissed. Gently, but with promise. The movie was forgotten as they laid down on the couch and continued to trade gentle kisses. Neither one felt the need to push it any further. Eventually, late into the night, they fell asleep on the couch in each other's arms.
