Thank you all for reading! I would really like you to review and tell me what you think so far, and what you would like to see happen next. Your opinion matters to me ALOT. Also, one author wo gave me the idea for Sara's illness, you know who you are. I thought your idea was brilliant, so I hed to use a similar concept in my story. Everyone else, I highly reccomend the story 'Leave of absence' by Wiccagirl24. That was an amazing story.

POV Sara
First night
"Thank you Grissom. You didn't have to take off this week for me, though. I feel okay right now.", I said, not really meaning my words. "I love everything you've done. I feel like a burden, though."
"No. Don't you even start with that. I have to help. You are physically and mentally unable to do this alone, you know that as well as I do.", he said to me as we sat together on his couch.
We watched the discovery channel until the wee hours of the night, though I wasn't really watching it. I was thinking about him.
I fell asleep in the guest room that night, wishing I was with him. I wished I could snuggle up against his warm body, press myself close enough to feel his heart beating, to take in his warmth, and he would take all the nightmares that plagued me during the day away. I felt so peaceful, so tranquil, in his house. It just had this atmosphere that I loved.
POV: Grissom
Sara.
I thought about her all night.
I did mean something by helping her out, but I was just afraid to let anything happen. I had spent so long trying to prevent a relationship, the fact that one might begin scared me. It was just a reflex almost to push her away when she got to close.
I wished she would wake up from a bad dream, and come to me to make it better.
She still had feelings for me, but I knew she would be wary about letting me know that. I had scared her away at dinner.
I wish I had some skill in letting people see my emotions.
