"Warrick?" Nick said when he opened the door.
"Hey man. Are you going to let me in?"
"Now's not a good time, I have company." Nick said.
"Oh I'm sure she won't mind." Warrick pushed past him. "Hey Sara." He called.
"Hey Warrick." Sara called back from the bedroom. "Nick's making waffles if you're hungry."
"Thanks." Warrick replied.
Nick looked at Warrick confused.
"What man?"
"How did you know Sara was here?"
"Where else would your fiancée be after a tough day at the office?" Warrick asked. "And her car is park outside."
"How long have you known?" Nick asked.
"Did I forget to mention that they know? Grissom told them?" Sara asked as she walked in tightening the belt to Nick's robe which she always borrowed.
"You may have forgotten to mention it. What was with the whole Hodges thing?"
"Greg trying to annoy you for us not telling them the truth outright. By the way Greg may be under the impression that you're going to kill him." Sara said.
"Why would he think that?"
"Because I told him that you would." Sara smiled. "You may want to run with that tomorrow when he confesses."
"Greg's going to confess?" Warrick questioned.
"I can be surprisingly persuasive."
"And what are you doing here?" Nick asked Warrick.
"Just because it turns out to be you man, doesn't mean you we don't need to have a discussion about whether or not you're good enough for Sara." Warrick crossed his arms.
"How very big brother-ish of you." Sara smiled. "Have a fun discussion, I need to take a shower I sprayed a lot of Luminol today and there was an incident with fingerprint powder I don't want to go into." Nick gave her a look. "If you have any ice-cream to throw on those waffles that would great."
"This isn't Baskin-Robbins." Nick reminded her.
"Interesting idea for décor but there is some chocolate chip ice-cream in the back of the freezer. Don't make a mess on the carpet."
"Carpet?" Warrick questioned.
"She moved the couch looking for something and decided I needed to get the carpets cleaned a few weeks ago. Other than that don't ask, the place hasn't been this clean since I moved in."
"Right."
"So do you want to talk while I make waffles? She could be a while."
"Sure." Warrick followed him into the kitchen. "So why didn't you say anything man?"
"Would you believe it didn't come up?" Nick asked.
"Not really. You and I've talked about women in the last six months more than once."
"It's Sara and honestly I didn't want to jinx it."
"You could have at least told me before you proposed." Warrick remarked.
"I didn't realise I was going to do it until last week when I went to that botched jewellery store robbery. I saw the ring and I had to buy it. I wasn't planning on proposing when I did either but it seemed like the right time."
"Catherine said something about the lab."
"It was after you and Sara were talking about that song yesterday. We talked Archie paged me, I left the ring on the table and left."
"So how does Archie piecing two and two together come from that?" Warrick asked.
"Catherine came in after I left and then Sara came and found me and I was still talking to Archie. She asked if I was serious, and then said okay. She did make me propose properly."
"Did she move in?" Warrick asked noticing some of the things from Sara's apartment around the place.
"Not entirely. She still has a couple months left on her lease, but she's here four, five days a week."
"How did I not know notice?"
"You weren't look for it. Do you want bacon with your waffles?"
"I thought you just put chocolate chips in it." Warrick said.
"That was for Sara. She prefers them with chocolate chips or some kind of fruit usually blueberries."
"Bacon is good."
"Right."
"So did you reach a conclusion?" Sara asked when she came out and grabbed her plate.
"Are you sure you want to marry him?" Warrick inquired.
"Like Catherine said, I could do worse in Vegas." Sara smiled.
"Then if he gives you any trouble let me know."
"Brass said the same."
