Sara looked at herself in the mirror taking in her appearance. Hair up in a loose bun because is was too hot to wear down, a short t-shirt that just covered her stomach and dark jeans, topped with converse shoes.
"Well, it's as good as it going to get." She told her reflection. Turning away she glanced at the clock and saw she had another half an hour before the party started. Seeing as how it took her at least 45 minutes to get to Catherine's she though she was doing all right.

Stepping out of his shower and wrapping a towel around his lower body Gil quickly made his way to his room having heard the phone ring whilst he was in the shower. Picking it up from his nightstand he saw someone had left a message. Heading back to the bathroom he put the phone to his ear and proceeded to listen.
"Dad, it's me. Look, shave off your beard before tonight okay? Sara doesn't like facial hair too much, and when you kiss her it would be good if you didn't have any. Well, see you later." And with that it ended. Gil was left starring at the phone in his hand. Replaying the message he wiped down the foggy mirror. Starring at the mirror he asked out loud,
"Why would I care if she likes facial hair or not? And why would I be kissing her tonight?" all he got was a patronising, confused look. "Great, now I know how she feels when I don't answer her." He sighed.

Nick and Warrick sat on Catherine's couch drinking beer. They had gotten to the party early to help set up and now they had to wait until everyone else showed up.
"I am so going to win the money pot." Nick boasted as he turned the television on to basketball.
"And what makes you so sure?" Warrick counted, opening a bag of chips and stuffing a handful into his mouth and then passing them to Nick.
"Dude, have you seen the sexual tension between those two? At first I thought they could never be together but now. Whoa. It's as bad as it used to be between Sara and Griss. Anyway," he continued taking another swig of beer, "I am going to get them together. Tonight. I mean Griss will probably hate me but Sara and Adam will be thankful, all they need is a little push."
"And what happens if Adam is already seeing someone at the moment?" Warrick replied.
"Has he ever mentioned anyone to you?" Nick asked and at Warrick's shake of the head he went on. "Exactly, I mean, why wouldn't he? We mention girls all the time and he has never mentioned anyone, not even said whether he liked anyway. Which of course he can't say that because he knows we would tell Sara."
"But, he's a Grissom." Warrick reminded him. "He probably wouldn't want you to know his business. I mean, sure, he is more open than Griss but still…" Warrick shrugged.
"No way man, he is not seeing anyone, but by this time tomorrow he will be, and I will be sooooo much richer." Nick sad with a sly smile.
