Yes, it's an amazingly short chapter but I'm writing in short bursts at the moment as breaks from revision,but it leads to quicker updates so works out about the same, should be updating the next chapter later tonight, already part written.


Grissom looked up eagerly at the knock, he'd been wracking his brain, trying to work out what he actually wanted to tell Sara and couldn't come up with anything, and no way to start it, but he was still looking forward to seeing her now and almost ran to the door to open it.

As it opened he stepped back in order to let Sara in. "There's a black coffee and an egg butty on the table for you." Sara couldn't help smiling as she headed towards the table, although kept her face neutral when she turned around to face him. He knew exactly what she liked and had gone out to get it for her. She saw an empty cup in the bin and an empty bag like hers and could smell tea and bacon in the air. He'd actually thought about what she would want rather than just getting her the same as himself.

"So, what do we want to do today?" she asked as ate the sandwich.

Grissom looked stunned, "I don't know. I can't think where to start."

"I was thinking maybe we don't talk today, not properly, just get back on speaking terms with each other, go have a wander around the town or something."

Grissom nodded, "That could work better if we weren't still both on night shift time. You slept through the whole day and part way into the night. It's nearly 2 in the morning, there's nothing open, we're not in the city anymore. So we either walk around a dead town or stay in here, they're the only really workable options right now."

Sara looked thoughtful as she sipped her coffee, he'd even put 2 sugars in instead of one, just how she liked it. After a short pause she spoke, "How about a game of cards?"
