"Stacey." Someone called to her.

"LJ."

"You should tell somewhere you're going before you disappear." Lara-Jo told her.

"You were asleep, Dad and Mom are still working and I left a note on the chalk board by the door like always. Sara, this is my sister Lara-Jo. Lara, this Sara, Uncle Nick's fiancée."

"Nice to meet you." Lara-Jo said.

"You too."

"Is she bugging you?"

"No, I'm helping her with her homework." Sara replied.

"Sara studied Physics at Harvard." Stacey told her.

"Impressive."

"When do you start college?" Sara inquired.

"Next year."

"Any idea where you want to go?" Sara asked.

"Stanford or Cal State."

"California. I grew up there." Sara replied.

"In California?"

"Just outside San Francisco." Sara confirmed. "Any ideas what you want to study?"

"Anthropology."

"Just anthropology or forensic anthropology?"

"Not sure yet."

"I know a few forensic anthropologists; they come in when we have to put a human jigsaw back together."

"Jigsaw?" Stacey questioned.

"Sometimes when you find people they are just bones and sometimes you need help putting their skeleton back together in the right order." Sara explained. "It's like a jigsaw puzzle, every piece has a right place, some are easier to spot than others."

"How'd you end up working in Vegas?" Lara-Jo asked.

"My boss Grissom called me and asked me to come help out on a case and I never left." Sara replied.

"And that's where you met Uncle Nicky."

"Your uncle was tossing dummies off the top of a hotel roof, trying to figure out if the guy had jumped, fallen or was pushed."

"That's slightly creepy."

"It's physics." Sara corrected. "Mass, force, rotation…"

"And that can tell you if someone jumped or was pushed?"

"That's what a criminalist does, we figure out what happened. Evidence doesn't lie, but people do."

"Is that the ring?" Lara asked as she noticed as Sara moved her hand.

"Yes." Sara held out her hand so she could look.

"It's beautiful. Uncle Nicky really picked that?"

"All by himself." Sara replied.

"How did he propose?"

"We were at work, he came in to talk to me and just before he left he set the ring box on the desk in front of me. It had the ring in and little tag that said marry me on it. I had to go and find him to say yes, although I did make him propose properly too."

"That's romantic." Stacey said.

"Where is Uncle Nicky anyway?" Lara-Jo asked.

"Grandma sent him shopping." Stacey replied.
