Picking up the Ashes - Chapter 15
"So how long have you and Grissom been together now?" asked Warrick, who was seated across from Sara.
Sara looked at her friend and smiled, "It will be about a year in a month!"
"Wow that long?" asked Warrick, surprised.
"Yep," nodded Sara, "time flies when you're having fun!"
Warrick smiled over at Sara and dug into his pancake.
They were eating breakfast together at Frank's, the 24 hour diner they always went to after shifts. The food there wasn't the best, but it was cheap and a tradition. As Warrick demolished his pancakes, Sara took a sip of her coffee and stared out the dusty diner window. After about five minutes she turned her attention back on Warrick, whose plate was almost empty.
"Do you think that people know?" she asked looking up from her coffee.
"Know about what?" he asked, confused.
"Know about me and Gil."
"No," shook Warrick's head.
"You don't think it's noticeable?" she asked.
"No, why would it be?" he asked putting down his fork. "You guys don't like hold hands or anything in the lab...well, at least when people are around."
"Yeah but still," spoke Sara. "Don't we sent out a vibe of some sort, like we're in love?"
"No, not really. Or at least I don't think you do," shrugged Warrick. "Why do you ask all this anyways?"
"I don't know," shrugged Sara taking a sip of her coffee and turned towards the window.
"I guess I'm tired of living a lie."
"What do you mean?" asked Warrick leaning in towards her. "Do you want to tell people?"
"I have been thinking about it. It only going to be a matter of time before they fine out. But Gil doesn't want to tell," whispered Sara turning back towards Warrick.
"Why?"
"I guess he is afraid. I am too but I am pretty sure people already know."
"Like who?"
"Well there's you and Brass for sure. Then I know Catherine has a pretty good idea what's going on between me and Gil and Nick and Greg must have their ideas. They saw us together! They won't say it but I know!"
"Sara, calm down," spoke Warrick gently, reaching out and placing a hand on top of hers. "Just let everything play out."
"You think?"
"Yes, stop worrying," he smiled at her, giving her hand a squeeze.
The corners of Sara's lips curled up into a smile at this. "Okay."
"Shall we get the bill?" asked Warrick.
Sara nodded her head at this.
