she definitely didn't expect his flirtation, but at the same time I think he confirms what she's already guessed.
you think she didn't expect him to be interested? cuz to me it all looked like they just knew they both liked each other. the way he looked at her when he and Brass went to the dominion first time in LHB was very telling. and she was talking to Brass but glancing at Grissom from time to time, which looked a bit like signilizing interest. not in a very obvious way, but more subconsciously.
what surprised me the most though, is that i think after Slaves Grissom didn't think SHE would be interested in him enough. that's why he didn't act prior to LHB. it seems kinda strange - they liked each other already, both single, so why Grissom didn't ask her out or anything after Slaves, but waited for another occasion, which luckily for him occured a year later? i would say he didn't know if she liked him. but then those looks she gave him in LHB and later flirtatiously asked him why is he staring at her lips. i think it was kind of a "since i met you" comment. he didn't really want to say this, it just ... happened and he thought that what the hell, he can risk saying something like that once hoping he interpreted her signals correctly. after he saw her smiling at this and looked at her again when leaving, he thought "damn, i may have a chance with her. she LIKES me".
note that in the "loosing balance" scene it was HER who closed the distance between them, allowing him to enter her personal space, what he did seconds later.
so despite the simplicity of the scenes between them, i think they're relationship was/is pretty complicated.
Some Kessom you are. *snobface*
hey, english is not my first language and sometimes i don't catch those things. besides i haven't watched that ep for a long time now. i may do it today though.
Grissom arrives on the scene and says that he was on a date, and is wearing a leather jacket.
i LOVED this jacket. i think he looked so HOT, it should be banned. i drooled, srsly.
