Episode 8.04 The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp
Sara left Grissom to tend to his bees, she told him she wanted to go home, and clean up. He had promised to take her out to dinner tonight. What Sara really wanted was time. She needed to process what has just happened. She'd always thought she wasn't the marrying kind, after all everything from her past told her that marriage is a sure sign of disaster in relationships, but when Grissom had asked her, so casually no fuss made, she knew it was right. Driving home she couldn't take the smile of her face, even though inside she was full of fear. What would bring married mean for their career, would one of them have to quit all together, she knew Grissom would give up his career in a heartbeat, he told her often, her problem was, could she offer that same commitment to him? If she didn't have her career, would she loose herself in being his wife? Sara shook her head, stop it Sara, she told herself, he just proposed to you for goodness sake, there's not even a date for the wedding. She continued driving home, wondering if she should call someone and tell them. She thought about calling Catherine, but she knew if she told Catherine everyone would know, and her and Grissom were so careful in keeping their private lives that way, Sara sighed, what she really wanted was to be able to pick up the phone and call her mum, or her dad, or her sister, but she knew that was impossible, she had wished for a family her whole life and now more than ever she wished she'd had one. As she reached the front door she realised she was crying, she cursed her past, how could it still manage to ruin what should have been one of the happiest days of her life.
Grissom was smiling, he radiated from head to toe, examining the bees all he could think of was Sara. She had said yes to him. He had been planning to ask her since he found her that day in the desert. He had realized that he had never felt like this for anyone before, and he knew he had to ask her. However he hadn't planned it like this. He had a hundred romantic evenings planned out in head, but something about that moment had seemed right. He had just blurted it out with no consideration of the consequences.
Sara and he had never really talked about getting married, to him it wasn't necessary, as long as they were together what did a piece of paper matter. But something had changed while she was under that car, something had come over Grissom that he had never felt, he couldn't explain it, there were no words to describe it, but he wanted to marry her.
Now as he sat among the bee's he couldn't imagine his life without her.
