A little note: After seeing Sara attacked Grissom can't handle knowing that in one second he could loose Sara, so he sits down and goes over his priorites...#1 on his list is Sara. He decides to cross that line of asking her out. Be reminded that he is still her boss!

Thoughts

2005, Post Committed

Sara starred as Brass took Nurse McKay away. A hand was laid on her shoulder and a

smooth voice said "I'll drive you home Beautiful Girl" Sara justnodded her head as she thought

'Did he just call me that? He hasn't called me Beautiful Girl since...since Christmas of 1999, the

last Christmas we spent together in Boston! I remember every year he'd come to either Boston

or to San Francisco, when he came to San Francisco, we'd drive to Boston and spend

Christmas together. Maybe I'm imagining it' as her thoughts wondered. She turned to him and

asked "What did you call me?" He gently smiled and took her hand "Beautiful Girl, I know it's

been a few years..." she cut him off with "6, why now" He began rubbing her hand while

continuing " I think it's time I open up to you like I was years ago when we met" Sara starred at

him in concern and asked " What did they slip you in there...gas or funny pills?" A small smile

crepped across his face and a sound resembling a laugh escaped his mouth "Sara, my beautiful

girl...we need to talk, but not here!" Sara starred as she thought ' Gris you just sounded like my

mother when she gave that talk on sex afterI had my first period. Knowing you anything could

come out of your mouth. He said "my beautiful girl" so it could be just between the two of us,

right? Is it about a date? God I hope so, but he told Lurie he couldn't take the risk! Maybe

almost loosing me changed his mind!' so she instantly said "At my apartment". He let go of her

hand and she gave him her gap-tooth smile, he in turn said "There's the smile I love to see... My

beautiful girl"
