A/N: This was only supposed to be a one part story, but following requests there will be a few more posts.
Sara leant against the counter the following evening grateful that Greg had been the last person to make coffee. After taking a sip she glanced at her ring which she was adjusting to wearing. She had a chain to put the ring on when she was working so that she didn't blow the labs budget for the year on gloves.
"Hey Sara." Warrick said walking into the break room it was still ten minutes before their shift officially started. "The coffee any good?"
"Blue Hawaiian, Greg must have come in early." Sara replied.
"Great." Warrick poured himself a cup.
"You look tired." Sara commented.
"My neighbour decided that he was going to play music all day so I couldn't get any sleep for most of. I had to get a hotel room so I could crash for a couple of hours."
"Well Vegas is a good place to find one of those." Sara smiled.
"Girl is there something you want to tell me?" Warrick asked finally noticing her ring.
"About?"
"That rock on your hand." He took her hand.
"I'm getting married." Sara told him.
"Congratulations girl." He hugged her. "Are you sure this is real? I could always…"
"You're not going to take it out of its setting to test it." Sara told him.
"Good evening folks." Nick walked in.
"Greg made coffee if you want some." Sara told him.
"Great."
"Sara got engaged." Warrick informed Nick.
"Wow. Congratulations." Nick told her.
"Thanks." Sara smiled at him.
"I didn't know you were seeing someone." Warrick commented.
"It's surprising what you can get past a bunch of CSI's." Sara stated.
"You definitely said yes then." Catherine said walking spotting the ring immediately.
"I said yes." Sara confirmed.
"You knew about it?" Warrick questioned.
"I saw Sara after the ring got dropped off yesterday." Catherine explained.
"He dropped the ring off?" Warrick queried.
"Something like that." Sara said.
"It had a little paper tag on it that said 'marry me'. I thought it was kind of sweet." Catherine remarked.
"Me too." Sara agreed.
"Sounds to me like whoever he is didn't want to be in the same room in case you said no." Warrick stated.
"He asked properly later." Sara explained.
"I still think you should let me test the ring to make sure it's real."
"I'm pretty sure it is." Sara looked at it.
"There are some decent fakes out there."
"Considering where the ring box is from I'd say it's real too." Catherine commented.
"You think a guy would give Sara a fake diamond?" Nick questioned from where he'd sat at the table keeping out of things.
"Depends on how cheap the guy is."
"He's not cheap." Sara defended Nick. "The diamond is real."
"Who exactly is he?"
"One of the good ones." Sara sipped more of her coffee.
"Good evening." Greg walked into the break room. "And what are we all discussing."
"Well Warrick and I were discussing how grateful we were that you'd come in early and made coffee." Sara explained. "But then there was a change of topic."
"Sara got engaged." Catherine informed him.
"Are you trying break my heart?" Greg held his hand over his heart.
"Sorry Greggo." Sara apologised.
"So who is the guy?" Greg asked.
"Okay people." Grissom walked in. "We have a 419 at the Bellagio. Sara, Catherine why don't you take it." He handed Catherine the slip, the others looked at him. "Did I miss something?"
"Sara got engaged." Greg told him.
"Congratulations." Grissom told her. "You'll have to take the ring off at crime scene and in the lab otherwise you'll go through too many sets of gloves."
"I've already thought of that." Sara said.
"Take Greg with you."
"Nick, Warrick. Possible 419 at Sunnyview Rest Home. Potentially suspicious circumstances surround the death of a resident." Grissom handed Warrick the slip. "I've got a consultation to do so I'll be in the lab all night."
