Hey sorry it's been a while since I updated. I just moved into a new apartment that is freakishly like Sara's. The living room is a brick red color, the kitchen is a blueish purple, and I'm not sure what color the bedroom would be classified as. Hope there are still people out there reading.

Grissom was antsy. He stood near the dock with Robert waiting for the seaplane.

"Gil, relax. You are acting like it's your first time flying."

"It's not the flight. It's the welcome home I'm worried about."

"I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you tell the truth and are sincere about it. She'll have to forgive you. It helps a lot if she loves you."

"I'm pretty sure she does. I just have a lot of making up to do."

The sound of the plane in the distance had them saying their good byes.

Grissom loaded his gear into the small plane and boarded. It would be half a day or better before he reached Vegas. By his calculations he should reach home by this evening before Sara would be heading into the lab. Knowing her she has been working instead of resting.

Sara headed home from the lab. She wanted to get some rest this morning. Lucas had asked her to show her several nice apartments in the area. He had found a place to open his office, and while she slept, he worked on cleaning up the small office.

She walked through the door, her body on auto pilot as she moved through the house. Food, shower, sleep in that order. Lucas kept to himself if she got home before he left. He would observe her routine morning after morning. Still he never got why she did what she did.

While she was in the shower he would leave to work on his new office. Vegas was the kind of town where it seemed everyone saw a shrink. He knew he could make a successful practice, and with Sara here only made it a plus. But he knew that her heart belonged to someone else. And that someone was too stupid to see it. But he was an honest man. There were plenty of fish in the sea. Sara was a good friend. They had never been anything more.

Sara woke up around two in the afternoon. She was still tired but excited to go with Lucas on his apartment search. As she dressed she heard the front door open and close. Her blood ran cold. 'God I hope it's Lucas.' was all she could think. The knock on the door confirmed it.

"Sara, hey girl are you up yet?"

"I'll be out in a minute."

They spent all afternoon looking at apartments. Sara was glad that it was him and not her. They grabbed take out and headed back to the townhouse.

"So what did you think of the one off of Western?"

Sara shook her head. "It's too far away from your office, don't you think?"

"I'm not worried about distance."

"You will when you hit the traffic early in the morning."

He smiled, "Ok, how about the one on 12th street?

"Look, I don't see why you just don't buy a house. You're a psychiatrist. I mean you have money don't you?"

"I'm just not wanting anything big at the moment."

"Well what happens if you meet the future Mrs. Harris? Then will you get a house?"

"Maybe."

Then it hit Sara.

"Hey I have the best idea. Screw an apartment, come on."

She stood, grabbed his hand and jerked him to his feet. Sara was a force not to be reckoned with at the moment, so he didn't argue. She drug him out of the house. They walked down the block together. When Sara reached her destination she was way too happy for Lucas's liking.

"Look." She pointed to the 'For Sale, by owner' sign. "It's perfect. Come on, lets check it out."

They walked up to the door and knocked gently. Sara smiled as an elderly woman opened the door and greeted them.

"Hi, my name is Sara Sidle and this is my friend Lucas Harris." She continued her introduction as the older woman let them in. They looked around the two bedroom townhouse as the elderly lady shared her story. Neither payed too close attention to her as they did their own evaluation.

Nearly an hour later Sara bounded into the living room of Grissoms house followed by Lucas.

"You so have to buy that place. It's too perfect. The price is right. Great location."

"What do you mean great location?"

"You will only be a block away from me. Duh?"

He smiled and they sat to finish off their cold takeout.

"Ok, Sara. You win. I'll go to the bank first thing to see about getting the money for the house." Lucas said as he stood to walk into the kitchen.

Sara jumped up and into his arms hugging him in excitement. He held her briefly then let her slide down to the floor. She looked at the shocked expression on his face.

"What?"

His eyes spoke the words he couldn't. She turned to see Grissom standing in the doorway looking at them.
