CHAPTER 5 – The Way You Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra
On the way to Grissom's place, neither of them said anything. It wasn't an awkward silence though. It's just that neither of them had anything to say.
"So what should I wear?" Sara asked as they pulled into the drive way.
"Something casual. Not to dressy." He said getting out.
"Would you just tell me where we are going?" Sara said walking into the living room.
Hank came running over, tail wagging and tongue out.
"No." Grissom said smiling.
Sara gave him a look and then headed up stairs.
She looked in her closet. 'Okay so something nice but casual.' She thought.
Sara finally decided and a dark pair of blue jeans, a black long sleeve shirt with a forest green jacket. She went over to the closet and pulled out her black knee hi boots. Sara then went over to the dresser and put on her butterfly necklace.
She wanted to put on her engagement ring but couldn't find it. She figured Grissom had it out to polish it again. She smiled at the thought. One time when she could not find it she started freaking out, but when she asked Grissom he said he just had it out to look at it. He did that a lot. One time Sara asked him why. He said to remind himself that this was not a dream. He really was engaged to the woman of his dreams.
She then went in search of her earrings. She finally found the pair she was looking for. She went into the restroom to but on some make up quick and make sure her hair looked presentable.
She then headed down stairs. Grissom was sitting at the table doing the daily crossword puzzle.
"You are going to change right?" She asked going over to the fridge and getter herself a glass of water.
"Yes I am." Grissom said not looking at her.
"So is what I have on okay?" She asked.
"It's perfect." Grissom said getting up, crossword puzzle in hand.
Sara smiled as he headed up the stairs.
Hank came running over to her. "You know he didn't even look at me?" Sara said scratching his head, smiling.
A few moments' later Grissom came down the stairs. He was wearing his average black pants with a blue shirt Sara had gotten him for his birthday last year.
"So are you ready?" Grissom asked, finally looking at Sara.
"Yeah." She said smiling at the look on Grissom's face.
"See ya later Hank." Sara said scratching him on the head.
Again, Grissom opened the car door for Sara.
She gave him a skeptical look and said thank you.
He only smiled.
"So you still won't tell me where we are going will you?" Sara asked.
"No. Put this over your eyes." Grissom said handing her a bandana.
"What?" She asked glaring at him.
"Just trust me. Put it over your eyes." Grissom said smiling.
Sara sighed, but did it.
About 15 minutes later the car came to a stop.
"Can I take this off now?" Sara asked.
"You need to learn to be patient my dear." Grissom said getting out of the car.
"I'll take that as a no." Sara said under her breathe.
Grissom opened Sara's door. He took her hand and led her away from the car.
Sara listened. It sounded like they where at an amusement park.
"Are we where I think we are?" She asked.
"That depends on where you think we are." Grissom said.
Grissom led her up 3 steps.
"Ha! I know where we are!" Sara said. "So much for you big surprise."
"But it's not over yet." Grissom said kissing her and taking off the blind fold.
The rode the roller costar twice and then Grissom took Sara's hand and led her to the car.
Grissom took the blind fold again and tied it around Sara's head, once she was in the car.
"So I'm guessing you still won't tell me were we're going will you?" Sara asked.
Grissom was smiling, Sara could tell by the sound of his voice.
"You'll just have to wait." He said.
This drive was about a half hour. Sara began to wonder where the heck they where going.
Finally the car slowed to a stop.
"Keep it on. I'll be right back." Grissom said getting out.
"Okay." Sara said to an empty car. She sighed.
It felt like she had been waiting forever until her car door opened.
Grissom took her hand, without saying a word.
Sara felt the wind on her face. 'Were are we?' She thought.
She could hear other people around, but still off in the dissentience.
Grissom moved behind Sara and took the blind fold off.
Sara looked around.
There we're other couples sitting on the lawn. Sara looked down; there was a blanket with a bottle of wine and two glasses. She looked at Grissom.
He only smiled at her. He took her hand and sat down on the blanket. He poured wine into each glass and handed one to her.
Sara began to talk but Grissom cut her off. "Shhh....It's starting." He whispered in her ear.
Sara followed Grissom's gaze. There was a big white screen projecting an old black and white movie.
The title said 'Gone With The Wind'.
Sara smiled and scooted closer to Grissom.
They watched the movie; Grissom leaned against a tree and Sara then leaned against him.
After the movie had ended Grissom told Sara for them to wait a little until people left so wouldn't get stuck in a crowd.
After about 10 minutes Grissom received a phone call, he answered and only said 'Okay'. Sara wonder what it was about.
"Okay I think we can go now." Grissom said getting up, he helped Sara up too.
"Who was that?" She asked.
"Oh wrong number." He said.
"You know you're not a very good liar." Sara said looking at him.
"I don't have to be for much longer." He said.
Sara noticed some people walking toward them out of the corner of her eye.
When she looked over, she was met with the smiling faces of Catherine, Nick, Warrick, Greg, Brass, Wendy, and even Hodges.
So looked back at Grissom.
He was down on one knee. Her hand in his.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw the screen change. It now read 'Sara Sidle, will you marry me."
Sara couldn't believe her eyes. She looked from Grissom to the screen to the team and then back to Grissom.
Grissom had a huge grin on his face.
"Sara Sidle, will you be mine for the rest of out lives? Will you love me until the day I die? Until the ends of time? I love with all of my heart and more."
Sara's mouth hung open, tears forming in her eyes.
"Sara Sidle, will you marry me?"
Sara smiled. "Yes!" She said finding her voice. "Yes of course!"
Grissom reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring. He then placed it on her finger.
He stood up and kissed her passionately.
Cheers and clapping erupted from the team. Warrick and Nick each popped a bottle of champagne.
But none of that mattered. Grissom and Sara were engaged, for the second time, but now it was official.
Soon Sara would be his, until the end of time.
