"So how was day one of the conference?" Sara asked after he had poured two glasses of wine and handed her one of them.
The conference wasn't what she wanted to talk about but she wanted to break the ice.
"It was good, interesting." He replied.
"That's good." She said.
"Sara, I don't mean to be blunt but where do we stand here?" He asked suddenly.
"I don't know Gil, you made it pretty clear where you stood when you had divorce papers sent to me." Sara said, rather sharply.
"I'm sorry Sara, I know it's hard to believe but I never meant to hurt you, I wish I could take everything back, I really do." He told her sincerely.
"I appreciate that, and I too wish things could be different." She responded.
"What do you think we should do?" He asked her.
"I'm not sure." She said.
"I'm not either." The man, who normally has all the answers replied.
"How about we start over?" Sara finally offered after a couple of minutes of silence.
"I think that is a good idea." He agreed.
Sara didn't say anything for a moment and then smiled at him.
"Hi, I'm Sara." She said as she extended her hand out in front of him.
He grinned back at her.
"Grissom." He said as he shook her hand.
As far as the couple was concerned things were moving in the right direction.
The End!
