Sara awoke to the smell of coffee and eggs. With a smile she opened her eyes and sat up in bed stretching. She heard movement in the other part of the suite.Sara got up and walked to the bathroom taking a blue robe from the back of the door. She put it on and made her way to the other room.
Grissom spotted her instantly and flashed a sheepish grin as he stood by a room service cart. "I'm sorry if they woke you. They did try to be as quiet as possible."
Sara smiled as she crossed the space to him and pulled Grissom into an embrace. "The coffee woke me. This was very sweet of you."
Grissom smiled ruefully. "It was supposed to be breakfast in bed."
"It's the thought that counts."Sara replied as she kissed him. "Thank you it smells wonderful."
Grissom grinned as he pulled away from her and took her hand walking them over to the small table where he pulled the chair out for her.
"I orginally thought we could go out for breakfast but then I noticed the hotel had room service."
"This is perfect."Sara replied softly before the waiters had left they had moved the serving plates onto the table complete with a small vase with a single red rose.
"I'm glad."Grissom acknowledged as he reached across the table and took her right hand in his.
"Thank you for this trip."Sara stated as she squeezed his hand. "I know it must've taken a lot to get both of us the time off. Especially with how short staffed we are."
"It was the least I could do."Grissom replied. "I'm just sorry we couldn't come sooner."
After a moment Grissom smiled and said. "Now eat before this gets cold."
Sara grinned and removed a metal lid from a plate revealing a stack of pancakes.
As they ate in compaionable silence Grissom began to formulate a plan of how to get them back to the FBI office without raising Sara's suspicions.
"Last night."Grissom began as he took a bite of toast. "Danny suggested that he could give you the tour today if we have time."
Sara smiled and nodded as she took a forkful of eggs. "Sounds great. Maybe before lunch?"
"Okay."Grissom replied."What do you want to do first? Shop or site see?"
Sara grinned. "How about both? Go through Central Park and then do some of the stores near there."
Grissom nodded as he took a sip of coffee. "I can call their office from the cell when we get close."
Sara finished her eggs and stood reaching over to kiss Grissom quickly."I'm going to shower and get ready."
Grissom watched her enter the other room amazed that they had this chance at happiness. He clearly remembered the coldness of his life without Sara in it and Grissom never wanted to experience that again.
Now he just had to figure out the perfect way to propose and pray that he didn't scare her off for good.
