Beautiful Always

1990 Harvard

Sara Sidle ran down the hallway. She was late for a seminar and she was never late. What a pain it

was to have your power go out in the middle of the day. She kept considering on weather or not to

move into a dorm. Roommate? No way, she couldn't stand the idea of sharing a room with a

person! Rounding a corner she slammed into a man and papers and files flew everywhere. The

voice was smooth and not angry, but in concern. "Watch where you're going Beautiful Girl" he said.

Sara looked at him and he looked at her. 'This woman was beautiful, no not woman, girl. She was

young…very young. How was she in college? Her eyes were…just beautiful and deep, drawing him

in.' Sara just sat there looking at him. 'Who was he? He was just like no one else, his eyes like

water crystals, blue and soft. He showed concern when she least expected it' "Hi" that's all she

could say. He offered he a hand and she accepted it. "What is your name" he asked softly. "Sara"

was heard. He smiled at her "Is it just Sara or does a last name go with it?" Sara just smiled before

talking again. "Sidle... S-I-D-L-E and there's no H on the end of my name, so do you have a name

or is just Mr. John Doe" she shot at him. He laughed and no one besides his mother had ever made

him laugh. "Gil Grissom, I'm a doctor in Entomology" he shot back at her. This girl was good and

had humor. "so how old are you, you don't seem like a college student?" he continued and Sara said

polite but plainly. "I'm 19, I graduated at age 16 in the class of '87'". 'Can she really be that smart?

She has humor, smart and could light up aroom when she entered it.' He knew he'd hav to keep her

around for a long while
