When Sara came to work that night, she was pissed. Greg could tell and stood well out of her way. When she rounded the corner, she ran straight into Catherine. "Where is he?"

She raised her eyebrows in amusement, she liked to tease Sara, but today was not a good day. "Grissom's in his office."

"Thanks."

Grissom's office door was thrown open by Sara. Man! Just the person he planned on avoiding that afternoon.

"What the hell did you think you were doing this morning?"

"What did I do? I think you mean what did you do!" Grissom's voice was slightly angered.

Sara's face was tight, and her voice full of fury. "What the hell do you mean Grissom?"

"You ….. and the couch thing last night. What? You thought you could take advantage of me in my emotional state?"

"How dare you! How dare you even think that Grissom. You're the one who came to me remember? Me! And as a friend I comforted you when you were upset. A friend! Got that? Because I know, that I can never be anything more!" Her anger subsided and now she was upset. Almost on the verge of tears. "I comforted you, that's all. Then I fell asleep, because I've worked 3 double shifts, and I was tired. I'm sorry for the situation that you woke up in. But if I remember rightly, it was your arms wrapped around me this morning, not the other way around!" She quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks, and ran out of his office.

Grissom was heading towards the lab to talk to Greg later on that shift, when he saw Sara talking to Catherine. He knew it would be safer talking to her with an audience. "Uhh Sara."

Her face suddenly went cold, and hard as stone. "Grissom" came her curt reply.

"Is it still alright for you to take Alex tonight? Cause Cath's working and I -"

"Yes." Her tone was as cold as her eyes.

"Thanks." She didn't even hear his thank you. She turned sharply and left. Catherine turned on him.

"Alright Gill, what the hell did you do now?"

Sighing he turned around. "Everything Catherine, absolutely everything."

When Grissom eventually made it to Greg's lab, he saw that Greg wasn't alone. He could see in through the glass that Alex was in there with him. He was talking to her and grinning. She was laughing, and she looked genuinely happy. He hadn't seen her that happy in years.

"Cute couple."

Grissom's head whipped around, to see Catherine standing next to him grinning. "What?"

"Alex and Greg. They make a cute couple."

Grissom shook his head. "No way, Catherine. Alex is just a kid, and besides, their only friends."

"Gill. She's seventeen. Besides their 'thing' definitely goes beyond friendship."

He looked at her. "Catherine, what are you talking about? They're not …… not….. are they?"

"Uh huh. Just look at them Gill. They're practically head over heals for each other." Catherine patted him on the shoulder, and walked away. Grissom stared at the two in the lab, and sighed. If only …
