"Trust you to take me to a country bar Nicky" Sara laughed as she took in her surroundings. Every male in sight was wearing a cowboy hat and she found herself thankful that Nick had told her to wear a checked shirt. She was wearing dark blue jeans and a white shirt with a red check design, unbuttoned at the frint to reveal a white tank top. When she had gotten dressed she had thought she would stand out like a sore thumb but was happy to find that she blended in.
Turning around to face Nick she smiled again as she took in his apperance. He was wearing a dark blue pair of jeans and a black shirt along with a black cowboy hat.
Leading the way Nick took Sara straight onto the dance floor. Wrapping his arms around her waist they danced to Kenny Chesney's On the coast of somewhere beautiful, making Sara laugh by singing all the words.
After a few songs they walked over to the bar and got a couple of beers. Sitting in one of the booths they chatted about nothing and everything.
Over the past couple of years thay had become extremely close. They had both been through things in their childhood that still haunted them and they found solance in talking to each other about it.
Nick was eternally grateful that Sara had been there for him after being buried alive. Whenever he woke in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat after a nightmare he knew he could go over to hers and she would let him talk it through or just hold him and watch TV when he wasn't in the mood to talk.
Likewise he was always there for her when she needed someone to talk to or to hold her. He knew of her violent childhood and he knew the deal about Grissom and his son.
Pulling her to her feet he made his way back onto the dance floor in time for one last dance before work. He smiled at the song, and began to sing to Faith Hill and Tim Mcgraws let's make love.

"So Gil, it doesn't bother you to see her with someone else, even if they are 'only friends'?" Catherine asked, making sure that it sounded as if Nick and Sara were far more than 'just friends'.
"Sara is a big girl, she can do as she wants." Grissom said, trying to keep the hurt out of his voice as he watched Sara bury her head into Nicks neck while Nick sang the lyrics into her ear.
"Just admit that you have feelings for her. Go round to hers after shift in the morning and talk this 'thing' you have out. She loves you and you know you have to talk to her about the boy. She can show you an amazing life Gil"

Watching as Nick and Sara left the crowded bar, on their way into the lab Grissom decided that Catherine was right. He needed to know about his son and he needed to try and work things out with Sara. Whatever that meant.
