Sarah dragged herself into work on time with very little sleep and a hangover like she's never experienced before. She desperately hoped that Grissom wouldn't notice (he always does) and that she could avoid Greg as much as possible.

Grissom: Hey you doing ok? (he asked as he caught her in the hallway)

Sara: Yeah, I'm fine. (drinking more of her 3rd cup of coffee)

Grissom: Did you get a chance to look at the case from yesterday?

Sara: No, why is there anything new?

Grissom: Yeah…we found some blood on a shoe from his closet so Greg is getting the DNA. Can you get it from him as soon as he's done?

Sara: Can't someone else take it? (her head throbbing)

Grissom: Why? Everyone else is busy right now. Are you sure something isn't wrong? (raised eyebrow)

Sara: Nevermind, I'm fine. I'll get the info from Greg asap.

Sara headed down the hallway to the lab and from a distance saw Greg in his lab coat and gloves. He looked like he was in the middle of something so she figured she'd go to her desk and get a few things done first. She turned to head back to her desk.

Greg: Sara! (yelling from the lab)

Cringing she turned back around to face the music.

Sara: Hi Greg…so do you have the DNA Grissom was looking for? (avoiding the obvious)

Greg: Oh (disappointed) yeah I got it here. It doesn't match, the blood belongs to someone else.

She takes the information from Greg and looks at frustrated.

Greg: About last night… (he interjects)

Sara: I can't right now, I've got a lot of work.

She immediately leaves the lab with Greg trying to piece everything together.

As Greg goes back to his DNA work he wonders if maybe Sara regretted what happened between them. He was just so glad he got to kiss her, he'd always wondered what it would be like and it was better than he imagined. In mid-thought Nick walks into the room.

Nick: Hey Greggo! Any info for me?

Greg: I haven't gotten to yours yet.

Nick: What's wrong?

Greg: I wish you guys would stop calling me Greggo…it makes me feel like I'm 4 years old.

Nick: Ah, well I'll try.

Greg: Can I ask you a question?

Nick: Shoot.

Greg: Have you ever…hooked up with a girl while you are both…intoxicated but the next day she ignores you?

Nick: No…why?

Greg: (embarrassed) No reason.

Nick: Who is this girl? Usually when you mention a woman you call her a "chick."

Greg: Just this girl I got involved with.

Nick: Ok whatever (heads out the door) let me know when you have my results ok?

Greg: Yep!

Nick is walking down the hallway to see Warrick when he sees Sara leaning against the wall rubbing the temples of her head.

Nick: Sara, you alright?

Sara: (groan) Why does everyone keep asking me this?

Nick: Because you look like hell.

Sara: Gee thanks Nick.

Nick: Got the flu or something?

Sara: Just a few too many drinks last night…I'm fine.

Nick: Oh. (it dawns on him the relation to Greg)

Sara: Listen, I have lots of work to do…I'll talk to you later.

It's the end of the day and Greg is in the back of the lab cleaning up. He figures that Sara is embarrassed she kissed him and is trying to pretend like it never happened. It will be hard for him to do but he'll find a way to go back to being friends with her.

Sara: Hi. (she interrupts him in deep thought)

Greg: (jumps) oh hi…

Sara: Listen…I just wanted to say thanks for listening to me rant last night and cheering me up. It was nice of you.

Greg: Ok… (confused)

Sara: You are a good friend. (she says turning to leave)

Greg stands up quickly.

Greg: Just a friend?

Sara stops dead in her tracks…she thought she'd gotten out of this safe.

Sara: (still with her back to him) Greg…it just can't happen…we work together. If Grissom ever found out—

Greg: I can't pretend it's not happening…can you?

Sara: It's part of the job Greg. We don't have a choice.

Greg walks over to her and stands behind her. She can feel his breath on her neck and goose bumps run up her whole body.

Greg: Sara…

He reaches out and gently touches her hand.

Just then Catherine walks into the room and they quickly (and obviously) jump apart.

Catherine: Ummmm…did I interrupt something?

Sara: No no…(gets uncomfortable) I'm running late for…a thing.

She dashes out of the room and Greg goes back to cleaning up.

Catherine: Did I say something?

Greg: Don't worry about it.

Catherine watches Greg for a moment while he's cleaning up. She's always noticed he had a crush on Sara and she always felt for him. He was such a sweet boy and such an asset to the company…he really worked hard to get where he is.

Catherine: You know…(she walks over near him)…we all need to have lives…

Greg: You have a life? I mean other than your daughter?

Catherine: (laughs) Believe it or not I've gone out of my way to have a life for myself (she pauses to think her next words) and we can't deny our true feelings.

Greg raises his eyebrow in confusion.

Catherine: No! (hits him in the arm) not me…I know you like Sara! (rolls her eyes)

Greg: What? (blushes)

Catherine: We all know about it don't worry…it's cute.

Greg: A teddy bear is cute…Hello Kitty is cute (sighs)

Catherine: I just mean…it's ok you like her but don't put off your life for her ok? You deserve something really great.

Greg: (smiles) Thanks Cath.

Catherine: No problem.

She heads out of the room.

As Greg finally leaves work he heads to a local diner he likes to get coffee at on nights he knows he won't sleep. He sits down at the counter and notices Reese is working tonight. Reese is a cute girl that he's noticed seems to flirt with him (even Nick noticed once) and he thought maybe it was time for him to move on.

Reese: Hey Greg, tough shift? (she pours him a coffee)

Greg: You could say that (he smiles and takes a sip)

Reese: It's gotta be a tough job huh?

Greg: Reese, could I maybe…take you out sometime?

Reese: (blushes) Ummm yeah…that would be great.

Greg: How about tomorrow night?

Reese: They have great drinks at O'Hanlon's.

Greg: I'm not much of a drinker, I'll think of something. Can I just pick you up here tomorrow?

Reese: I get out tomorrow at 7:00 pm.

Just as she's writing her number down on a napkin Sara walks in and takes a seat down next to Greg.

Sara: Coffee please (she slumps down on the counter exhausted)

Greg: Everything alright?

Sara: I'm just glad today is over you know?

Greg: Yeah…I gotta head home (he gets up) and drops a few dollars on the table.

Sara: Oh stay…I promise I won't get you drunk and take advantage of you.

Greg: Night Reese!

Reese: Night Greg!

Sara: Good night (upset she was ignored)

Greg waves his hand at Sara and heads out. Sara sits there saddened by the turn of events. Just then Reese leans over towards Sara on the counter.

Reese: You work with Greg?

Sara: Yep.

Reese: He's pretty great huh?

Sara: He's alright.

Reese: I can't believe he finally asked me out (she blushes and heads back to the kitchen)

Sara suddenly has a million thoughts running through her head. She wants to ask the waitress for more questions. She wants to run out to Greg and talk things through with him. She wants to go back and do everything different from last night. Only problem is…she doesn't have a clue what she wants.
