Chapter 8

The door to Sara's home was twisting to right and then opened.

"Sara, I'm home," Gil said as he walked through the door. He saw his fiancée in the arms of another man. Sara and the man quickly separated from each other and put distance between each other.

"Gil," Sara said walking up to him and giving him a hug. He was too shocked to hug her back. He kept his eyes on the younger man. The guy dug his hands into his pockets.

Jonathan didn't look away from man's gaze. He realized it was Sara's partner after she kissed him on the lips. Her partner looked way too old for her he thought, but he guessed love conquered all. He wished she loved him like she did him. She looked happy with him. His chances went from barely passing to zero.

Jonathan coughed to get Sara's attention.

"Gil, this is Jonathan White, an old friend. Johnny, Gil," she said. She hoped Gil wouldn't recognize his name, because Gil had seen her case file.

Jonathan stretched out his hand for Gil to take. His hand was left out in the air. Gil wouldn't take someone's hand that had his hands all over his fiancée. Gil brought Sara to his side to show who possessed her. Sara didn't like this and got out of his grasp.

Jonathan recoiled his hand and looked hurt. He knew he wouldn't get a handshake, but it was at least nice to try.

"You can call me Grissom," Gil said.

Jonathan shook his head.

"Sara, I hope we can finish this conversation later," Jonathan said wanting to leave. He felt uncomfortable under Grissom's stare.

"Yea, that would be good," she said almost frowning. Jonathan let himself out. As the door closed, Gil questioned her.

"What was that about?"

"Gilbert, I should be asking you that. You shouldn't have been so rude to him."

"Well, I had my reasons. He had his hands all over you. Do you know how that makes me feel to find my fiancée in another man's arm?"

"I'm going on a jog," she said walking out the door without taking Hank. There were moments between Gil and her that made it unenjoyable. He was jealous; she could tell that.

"Sara," he called out. She didn't look back.
