AN: Thank you for all the great reviews!

I hope everyone likes this chapter. It's a little shorter than the last. Next chapter is going to get a little more steamy! Please review!


Nick Stokes was playing the latest racing game with Warrick, but his mind was elsewhere. "Who would have thought Greg and Sara would hook up?" he wondered, somewhat amazedly. "I never saw that one coming in a million years." Nick had gone looking for them after a particularly rough case, and found them kissing on the roof. He had backed out before they saw him, though. "Well, whatever makes them happy I guess. They don't know I know, and I'm fairly certain no one else around here knows. I'll just keep it to myself for a while, until they are ready to say something."


Sara was in absolute shock. She stared down at Greg, her mind racing.

"Greg…"

Greg's heart sank a bit. "Yes?"

"I think I need to sit down, this is a bit sudden." Sara said.

Greg guided her over to her chair. His heart was beating so fast he thought it would jump out of his chest. "Please let her say yes." he thought.

Sara couldn't quite get a handle on her thoughts. She stared at Greg for what seemed to be an eternity. Marriage? It's only been six months! But they had known each other for years before that so it's not like they would be rushing into anything.

"Sara, please say something?" Greg said, with a small laugh. "Anything, just please speak to me."

"I'm sorry Greg, you just took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting this at all. Just give me a moment, please?" Sara said, her voice quivering a bit.

"Of course. Would you like me to leave you alone?" Greg asked her.

"No, just stay here, it's fine."

Sara tried to slow her heartbeat down, she was sure Greg could hear it on the other side of the table. Her heart was screaming "Yes! I love you and I'll marry you!" But her mind was trying to analyze everything, as usual. Sara looked at Greg again, and the hope and love in his eyes finally pushed her over the edge.

"Greg?"

Greg tried not to get too worked up. "Whatever she says, you can handle it Sanders." He thought to himself. Although it would be a lot easier to handle if she said yes. "Yes, Sara?"

She took a deep breath. "Greg, you have made me so incredibly happy these last few months, and I want to see where this goes. I'm so lucky to have finally seen what was under my nose these last few years, so yes, I'll marry you."

Greg's face lit up as he stood and pulled her to her feet. He swept her up in his arms and kissed her. He could feel the warmth pulsing through her body as she gave herself into the kiss, and that made him desire her even more. He couldn't believe she had actually said yes, he was afraid he was going to wake up and the whole thing would be a dream.

Electricity coursed through Sara as her lips touched Greg's. This was so right, and she knew she wouldn't regret her decision. She melted into his arms, never wanting to let go.

They had both completely forgotten where they were until they heard someone clearing their throat softly. Greg and Sara looked up to see Louis standing a few feet away. They both blushed and backed away from each other slightly.

"Oh, please don't let me embarrass you, I'm terribly sorry." Louis said with a broad smile on his face. "I just wanted to let you know that we were closing the restaurant for the night, but that I would stay for a while longer if you would like to enjoy the garden a little more."

Sara was blushing by this point. She took Greg's hand and said "No, Louis, but thank you. We have some other plans for tonight that can't wait."

Greg glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"As you wish, Miss Sara. Please permit me to be the first to offer you congratulations, and also, anytime you wish to use the garden again let me know." Louis shook Greg's hand, and kissed Sara's. "Wonderful!"

As Louis walked away, Greg looked at Sara, and, cocking his eyebrow, asked "Other plans? What other plans?"

Sara wrapped her arms around him and said with a wink "You'll see when we get back to my apartment."

Greg leaned in to kiss her one more time. After a few moments his arousal became evident, and he backed away so as not to embarrass himself or her. They had not yet taken that step and he didn't want her to feel pressured to do so.

She looked at him with a gleam in her eye. "Problems, Greg?"

"No, no problems here." he said, a little guiltily. Nothing a good cold shower wouldn't take care of anyway. He wondered exactly what kind of plans she had back at her apartment. The thought made him even more excited. He took a couple deep breaths and tried to calm himself somewhat.

Sara knew that Greg wanted her. The thought excited her as well. She had special plans back at her apartment alright, and they involved Greg, candles, and her bedroom. She smiled broadly at the thought.

Greg noticed the grin that had suddenly spread across her face, as well as a slight blush. "Penny for your thoughts?"

Sara couldn't help but grin even more. "I'll tell you, but first, don't I recall a ring box somewhere in this deal?"

Greg laughed as he pulled the box back out of his pocket. "You mean this ring box?"

Greg knelt down before her again as he opened the box. Inside was a dazzling princess cut diamond ring. He pulled the ring from the box and slipped it on her finger. "Sara Sidle, I love you so much."

Sara giggled as she pulled Greg to his feet. "I love you too, Greg Sanders." She leaned in to kiss him on the cheek and whispered in his ear "Tonight's the night. I'm ready."

Greg thought he was going to pass out from blood loss to the brain. "Are you sure?" he whispered back.

She kissed him gently on the lips. "Yes."
