Sara sat in the break room, it was another slow day. She was still surprised that she had found something to wear in Veronicas closeted. The girl herself was buried in a book, again. She hadn't done anything else sins they got there. Greg and Warrick were still working on their case. Nick was solving a crossword puzzle, and it was Catherines day off. Sara was bored.
Grissom had chosen to stay in his office, he was reading just like his daughter. A light nook on the wall with the door made him looked up. Sara was stranding right outside his office, he smiled at her. She smiled back, before she entered the room. She closeted the door.
"There is nothing to do! And your daughter and Nick is not fun company." He laughed. Then he stood up and went around his desk to her. He wrapped her in his arms and kissed the top of her head.
"Were you thinking as would be better company?"
"Well, I was hoping"
They sat down on the couch. Small talked for a while. He had his arms around her the entire time. Both enjoying each others company.
"Sara what are you doing after sift?" Grissom asked.
"I don't know, sleeping?" He laughed and shook his head.
"No, I meant other than that."
"Nothing"
"Would you like to come home with me for breakfast? And go out for dinner before sift?" Sara smiled at him.
"Yes, but I need to go home and get some clothes. I can't live of your daughters' clothes." Grissom looked at her.
"Well you're looking very cute in her clothes." She hit him playfully in the arm. "You can chose, ether you can come with me eat and then go home. Or you can go home, then come over to me and stay."
"The second, I think, if Veronica's okay with me staying."
"We can ask her, but I don't think she have anything against it."

Grissom was right; Veronica had just smiled and said they could do whatever they wanted, but that if they were planning on making it a habit Sara would have to bring something to wear. So she and Grissom went home, and Grissom started making food. And Sara went home to pick up the things she needed. She wasn't sure were Grissom was planning on taking her, but she knew she would have to work in the clothes she wore. So she packed something nice, but practical. After a while she decided to bring some extra clothes, in case she was going to spend more nights there.
Breakfast was nice. After Veronica went to her room, and Grissom and Sara sat down on the couch for a while. But not too long, nether wanted to spend another night on the couch. So the moved in to the bedroom. And for the first time in many years Sara slept with Grissoms arms wrapped protectively around her.
