Nick always thought they were like water.

When Sara first came to Vegas, she and Grissom were like melting snow. Trickling down rocks and sides of mountains. Sometimes together; sometimes not.

Then they were like a river. Gentle and soothing to each other. Turbulent and harsh at times, making jagged edges in each other's lives.

The time came when, swamped under by emotions, their feelings came together. A blending of salty tears and stagnating careers. They needed a storm to move them.

The storm came in the form of his abduction. It seemed to wash them together.

Now they are the ocean. Calm and clear and storm and murky. They feed each other now; washing pain away with the tides.
