Falling

[DEAD FOR NOW] Sara is fed up with her past relationships and friends always trying to set her up. She decides to give up dating….or not. GSR. I've had to update the first 2 chapters to fit within my timeline.

2. Chapter 2

Sara spent fifteen minutes browsing the web site; reviewing the company information, the type of service they provided, how the service was provided, and any fees associated with the service. Seeing there was a trial period, she decided to test it out. The next half hour was spent registering and filling out the service's required information.

Needing a warm up on her coffee, she went to the kitchen to rinse out her cup and refill it. Sitting back down at the computer, she saw the confirming email. Opening it up and reading it, she couldn't believe it. She actually posted a personal on an internet dating site. She decided this would be one thing she would keep secret. No one needed to know what she was doing. She didn't want to be made fun of. Not that she thought there was anything wrong with meeting people on the internet.

For the past few years, she was always being set up with friends of Nick and Greg. And every time, they ended badly. Either she wasn't that interested in the person or the person wasn't all that interested in her. The maximum number of dates for each person was three. She never made it to a fourth date in the last two years. She was tired of that routine and decided at least this way she'd have some idea what the person was like and that person would know a little about her before they actually decided to meet.

Knowing that the dating service would send matches to her email account, she decided to log off and shut down her computer. Picking up her coffee cup from her desk, she went to the kitchen and cleaned the coffee pot and her cup. She returned to the couch and picked up magazine she had been reading.

The rest of Sara's morning and early afternoon were spent as usual; either reading or watching TV. She was so tired from all the overtime she had put in the past week that she even went to bed earlier than normal.

Sara awoke Friday night and just lay in bed for a while thinking about the morning. She was still upset with Grissom and a little in shock that she actually put up a personal ad on the internet. She decided against going to the movies after dinner and opted for getting a few drinks with her friend after they ate; if not at the restaurant, than at one of the bars in the casino. With those thoughts in her mind, she got up and got ready to meet her friend for dinner.
