Grissom then leaned in as to merely kiss her but, she pulled back. "Hank" she said. "But, Sara." He proclaimed "I- uh uh umm I well, I". "You, what?" She blurted out quickly, wanting to know more. He just couldn't get the words out so he took her hand and his favorite pen and drew a heart on it. She just sat there, in shock. He'd finally showed emotion. After all the trouble she went through to get him to show interest in her.

She then leaned towards him and nestled her head into his chest. He then got up and carried her to the couch where they sat and watched a little TV. This was the first time she'd ever seen him like this. He had feelings and for her. She suddenly felt so utterly happy she couldn't sit still.

He could feel the excitement within her and just like one of their previous cases She leaned in and whispered "Pin me down". He got up and pinned her to the carpet, now only inches from her body he moved in closer, eyes closed and head tilted. They then kissed. For the first time she felt loved. Then Catherine came in to tell Grissom goodbye and to make sure he knew she'd worked some overtime. She was shocked. She'd never seen Grissom open up to anyone. Much less even think about showing passion for them in such a way.

After standing there for a second she said "Am I interrupting something, here?" Sara quickly ran up to Catherine and hugged her. Catherine was shocked. She had thought Sara didn't really like her. Then she asked "Is everyone else still here?" "Yea except Sofia and Mia". Sara quickly darted to go and see them. It'd seemed like forever since she'd seen them all and, it had been, last week she was on vacation.

"What was that all about?" Catherine said. "I don't know I didn't even realize what I doing until you walked in" Grissom replied. "What was all the drama today about?" "Well Sara had a break down at a crime scene. I think it was because of Hank." Grissom said.

Then Sara came back in and quickly drew herself into Grissom, tightly holding his body to hers. Catherine then left and told them "See you guys tomorrow". Grissom then realized he needed to be getting home and getting some rest. "Sara" he said, "Would you like a ride?" "Sure" she replied. He then, on the way, forgot he was taking her home and had driven to his house. "Sorry, I forgot I was taking you home", "Its ok", "Well let me go inside real quick and go to the restroom and I'll take you home."

She then came inside behind him, with all her stuff, and set it in his bedroom. Then she told him she was going to go to the restroom and ended up taking a shower and throwing on some sweats she had in her bag. She, then, went to get a drink of water and found him in the hallway waiting for her.

"Hey, Grissom, I think it's a bit late for you to be driving so I'll just stay here." Deep down he was hoping she'd want to do that. He told her he had a guest room she could sleep in. She waited about a half hour before going back to his room, hoping he'd be asleep and she could sneak in. As she peered in everything seemed to be sound so she slowly crawled into his bed and then felt an arm around her. "I had a suspicion you'd come here" Grissom whispered. Then he rose up a bit and softly kissed her on the cheek and told her goodnight.

When he woke up he went to the kitchen and started making breakfast. Soon Sara awoke to a warm comforting smell. She knew where a smell like that would come from so she went to the kitchen. He was standing there putting the finishing touches on it then getting juice for them. As he sat the juice on the table she came up behind him and rested her head on his shoulder and hugged him. He turned around and planted a sweet loving kiss on her lips. "Good morning babe" he whispered in her ear.

She was in utter shock. Babe? She struggled to contain her happiness but somehow managed. When she went to work she'd never felt better. When someone came up to say hi she gave them a big friendly hug, even Ecklie who only came to give her a hard time about breaking down over Hank. As soon as she hugged him, he forgot that he was going to give her a hard time about and even asked if she was ok. Things were going up, life was good. She hadn't even felt like crying from sadness since yesterday. But, soon the unspeakable would happen.
