Re: Crime Of Passion
Sara kept trying to catch Grissom's line of sight but he was obviously avoiding it so she gave up until Catherine noticed the tension between the two and made a hasty exit with some excuse of needing to find...the locker room. Okay, so not the best excuse she'd managed but it got her out of there, didn't it?
Alone with Grissom in the office, Sara felt like she was being suffocated, all the air being sucked from the enclosed space like a vacuum. She had hoped that since their encounter that morning, that any tense, awkward silences would be gone. They knew each other on a much more intimate level now and Sara had hoped she'd get that feeling where she could talk to him about anything. But she had to remind herself that this was still Grissom. Emotionally challenged, cagey Grissom. She eventually broke the impenetrable silence with a sigh.
"Grissom, talk to me. Why's it bothering you so much the fact that Danny and I are attracted to each other?"
She couldn't help that Danny was a good-looking guy, and he was also a typical man too - he liked flirting. So did she. It was natural that they'd hit it off. But he was acting like she'd started a torrid love affair with the younger man behind his back when in reality, at the time she and Danny had started flirting, she hadn't thought she was even a blip on Grissom's radar!
