The drive back to Vegas was quiet and depressing, the low hum of the radio doing nothing to ease Sara's mind.
Guilt seared into her. She was a cheater. She cheated on her boyfriend…but her heart wasn't on her boyfriend…it was on the man she had cheated on him with.
Greg had already been hurting and she just made it worse. She knew of his crush floating around the lab, Nick had told her during their break one night that the younger man had strong feelings for her.
She only could just tell how much, picturing his look of pure sorrow after admitting that she still had a boyfriend. Groaning, she tried to remain focused on the road in front of her, but her heart wouldn't let her.
Hours later and after leaving word with Grissom, Sara pulled into her apartment complex. Opening her door, she felt an ache deep in her chest. An ache she wasn't expecting. She missed him. She missed Greg.
Before she could even set her bag down her phone chirped at her hip. Dropping her bag to the floor she pulled her phone out, sighing as she found a text from Grisso asking her to come in.
Shaking her head Sara snatched her bag back off the table she had just put it on and walked out the door.

The case that Grissom had called her in for turned interesting as the days passed.
By the case end, nearly two weeks later Sara had closed the case but also on her boyfriend, her cheating boyfriend. It turned out that she was more or less side booty. With that in mind she felt at ease with her intimate encounter with and newfound feelings for Greg.
"Do you think Greg will be back soon? DNA is horrendous."
"Dude…I don't think he's coming back." There was something to Nick's tone that seized her heart. She stood in the locker room preparing to go home when Nick and Warrick walked in chatting animatedly.
"What? Why?"
"I don't know but I heard Grissom was trying to talk him into staying."
"Damn."
"No." Sara whimpered as the guys walked out of the room, her body dropping to the bench weakly. Even after everything she'd hoped Greg would come back and they could talk but now that seemed impossible. Looking at the clock, an idea struck her, slamming her locker shut she bolted from the lab.
