A/N: See, I'm keeping my promise this time :) This chapter and maybe the next, depending on how far I go with this chapter, will focus around Sara and Hank, and Grissom's jealousy.

Hidden Emotions

Chapter twenty

Sara got back to her apartment with an hour to spare before Hank would take her out to the meal he had promised her, they had to keep putting it off because they both kept getting called in to work. That was one good thing about their relationship; they both understood each other's problems with work.
She went in the shower, dried her hair, applied some light makeup- She never wore heavy makeup, she was always told she didn't need makeup anyway. She put her hair up in a bun with a few strands of hair framing her face. She smiled at her reflection- She cleaned up good. Sara then looked in her wardrobe for a good outfit, she didn't have many 'going out' clothes, she never needed them, so she picked out a skirt that went to just above her knees, and was tight enough to show that she had a figure, and a nice blouse that she usually wore for court. When she was done she touched up her makeup a bit, grabbed her purse and paced the small apartment waiting for Hank. They were going out quite early for a meal; it was only 5 in the afternoon, but they both knew it would be best to go out at this time because there was a risk of being seen at night.

Finally there was a knock at the door, she left it for a few seconds- it would seem she had been waiting- and then opened the door to a very smart looking Hank. She smiled and linked her arm through his as they walked to his car.

When they were seated in the restaurant Sara started the conversation, while they were looking through the menu.

"Nice place you picked out, huh?" She smiled.

"Yeah, I figured we'd go somewhere nice since we always have to cancel, besides, this is a special day."

She was confused. "It is?"

Hank chuckled. "Yeah, it is, it's been one month since you accepted my invitation to take you out, and we've finally gotten to do it"

"Oh, right! Yeah, well at least we got to go out to lunch a few times"

Hank smiled. "So, are you having the beef lasagne? I heard you like pasta"

Sara looked at him, she was sure she had told him she was vegetarian.

"Um, no, actually, I'm vegetarian... I thought you knew that"

"Oh, oh! Right, yeah, you probably have, I can be very forgetful, sorry"

"Um, it's fine, really" 'Grissom remembered.'

"Good, are you ready to..." Hank looked out of the window. "Crap!"

"What?"

"Um, Sara, could you excuse me a minute? I gotta go to the toilet"

"Okay... Sure" She looked out of the window, trying to work out why he made a dash like that, seeing nothing but a group of people coming into the restaurant she sighed and sipped her drink.

A long, fifteen minutes later he returned, but told her that he had a call from work, he had to leave.

"Is that okay? I'm really sorry, Sara, I know this keeps happening"

"No, no, it's fine, we'll just try again some other time, huh?" She laughed, but it was a fake one.

"Yeah, thanks for understanding" He leaned over and pecked her on the lips. "I hope you enjoy your seminar tomorrow"

"I will, thanks, Hank"

He turned around, and started heading for the door but stopped and walked back towards her.

"Could I at least drive you home?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it's the least I can do, and I'm sure they won't mind me being a few minutes late"

"Well, okay, if it's no bother"

He smiled as they walked out the door.
