Author's note: Thanks for the reviews…they are appreciated…A lot. =) I posted this chapter for one of my dear friends; Faerie21

Disclaimer: I do not own CSI. But that would be cool.

A house, a home, a life, reality

"Sara! You're back!" Dorothy shouted as she hugged Sara. It was very obvious that Dorothy was worried. "Why didn't you come home last night? Did you do something with Prince Gil?" She gasped

Sara smiled. "I wish. We didn't go home last night since there was a terrible storm. We decided to stay in their cabin."

Dorothy smiled. "Cool. Now go on and change your clothes. We'll prepare your lunch."

"Sure." Sara started to exit the kitchen and head towards the staircase. Once she was there, she saw Prince Vincent coming down and she bowed.

"Good morning Prince Vincent."

"Good morning…Sara, is it?"

"Yes your highness." replied Sara.

"Ah…such grace and beauty. Too bad you aren't a princess. I'm betting that you want to be a princess…Don't you?" he started to stroke her cheek. "I can make your dream come true."

Sara was scared. She thought this man was nice. "Wh...What are you do…doing?" she stammered.

Lurie didn't stop. He continued to stroke her cheek. "Such brains too. I saw you come inside the library. I rarely see anyone go inside the library…except for my dear brother Gilbert of course…"

"Please stop this…"

Someone from downstairs called the prince. "Vincent!"

Lurie turned and looked at Sara. "Well, I have to go…until we meet again I suppose." With that, he winked and left.

Sara was frightened. She hasn't seen this side of Prince Vincent. Making a mental note not to run into him again, she ran until she was safe inside her bedroom.

Sara and I took a walk yesterday near the shore. It felt…nice. I haven't been near the shore in such a long time. When we were walking near the shore, I learned more about her past. It suddenly rained hard while we were walking so we ran to our cabin. Once we were there, I…felt something. At the time, I didn't know what it was. But now that I had time to think, I think that I felt…content. I was content to be there with her…even though there was a storm. I was beginning to think that maybe I should tell her how I feel about her…but I can't do that. It is forbidden for a prince to love a maid. I cannot let my feelings affect my family and the kingdom. I simply can't.

I am getting tired of writing what I feel on this journal. I want to act upon it…before it's too late. Before someone like Hank take her away from me again. I cannot let that happen. But, here I am...In one sick scenario. I want to be with her…to be happy with her so that she will not be with another…and yet, I cannot have her. I cannot believe myself. I am effectively trapping her….with no way out. I can be so…stubborn sometimes.

I learned that she has this locket…A very nice one indeed. I don't know if it's just me…but it kind of looks familiar. You know what? I should probably do something to distract my mind from her. I've known her for less than a week and here I am…I can't even stop thinking about her.

…At least I now know what it's like to love again.

With that, Grissom closed his diary.

A.N: So sorry that I wasn't able to upload this faster. =)
