Sara finally came back to work on October 16th. She walked into break room exactly as shift started. The rest of the group par Grissom were already there waiting for the nights assignments. Greg who had been washing his cup in the sink didnt see her until he turned around to put it back in the cupboard.

"Sara!" At the same moment Warrick, Nick and Greg made there way towards her. Each wanting to give her a hug and explain and tell her they loved her and were sorry.

Sara just looked at the floor and sat down quickly, leaving them to stand around her.

"Sar, please" Greg begged "Please just hear me out"

Sara was saved the task of answering him when Grissom entered.

"Welcome back Sara, right Nick, Warrick another DB in the desert, Cath,Greg hit and run near the hospital. Sara your with me." Grissom wasn't sure what had happend but her knew it was something bad if Sara had avoided work and he knew she wasn't ready to talk to the guys. Anyway he liked having her with him. He did have feelings for her, he was just to scared to admit it.

For the next 5 weeks Sara avoided talking to any of the team exept Grissom. She arrived just in time for work meaning she didnt have to talk before shift and left dead on time. She was always paired with Grissom and still didn't answer the phone or her door to any of them. She looked paler and upset and it was breaking Gregs heart.

It had been about 10 weeks since the date and Greg had just finished his case. It was the first time in months that he had had an easy case. It was only half way through shift and their were no new cases. Just then Nick and Warrick came into the breakroom.

"Finished" Nick declared

"Same here" Cath said

"Well there isn't anything else to do, how about a game of poker?" Warick asked

"Sure" both Cath and Nick said at the same time "Greg you in?"

"Erm, no thanks, i'll be back in a bit" With that he hurried out of the breakroom

Warrick shot Catherine a knowing look and they all quietly wished him good luck.

Greg stood in the doorway watching her as she leant forward, staring intently at the computer screen.

"Sar?"

Sara jumped when she heard him and spun round in her seat.

"G-Greg what do you wan't?" She wouldn't make eye contact with him

"Sar, please let me explain, I'm so sorry." He noticed that she had tears in her eyes and her hands were trembling.

Just then Grissom came in "Sara, he confessed, i'll er wrap it up, you two talk." With that he left them alone again

Greg smiled at Sara and was just about to talk when Grissom came flying in again

"Greg,Sara new crime scene everyone is on it, its a hot case. Now move it."

Sara quickly jumped up and fled before Greg could speak.

"Damn it!" Greg shouted before setting off at a run
