Chapter sixteen

Sara and Grissom touched down at the airport in San Fransisco bay.

"Griss. We're here." Sara nudged Grissom who was sound asleep.

Grissom had been asleep for pretty much the whole flight.

Sara had been asleep for only a short while before she felt Grissom drift off. She then took his book from his lap and cuddled up even closed to him.

Grissom had been having nightmares ever since that night in the desert when he thought he'd lost the only one he's ever loved.

Sara didn't know about the nightmares, but she knew that he hadn't been sleeping well, from the black circles that had started to form under his eyes. He was eating less and he had stopped talking to the team.

The truth is, Sara was worried about Grissom. He was slowly turning in on himself. Turning away from the world. From his family.

"You okay, Gil?" Sara entwined her fingers with his as they walked from the plane and into the terminal to collect their luggage.

"I'm fine Sara. Really." Grissom pulled Sara close and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"That's usually my line." Sara laughed and wrapped her arm around Grissom's waist.

He's lost weight.

Grissom smiled down at Sara as their bags arrived. Grissom grabbed both their bags and Sara linked her arm with his as they walked to the rental SUV.

Sara jumped into the passenger seat and Grissom into the drivers'.

"What's this beach house of yours like then, Sara?" Grissom turned the stereo off and lay his hand on Sara's lap.

"You'll have to wait and see." Sara grinned, placed her hand on top of Grissom's and turned to look out of the window.

Grissom squeezed her thigh, which received a slap on the back of the hand.

"Watch the road."

"Yes ma'am." Grissom saluted and continued to the coast.
