"You're welcome," I replied even though I knew she couldn't hear me. There was still a whole night left in front of us. Not to mention Chinese...


Cell phone on vibrate. I reached over and grabbed it off the night stand, unwinding myself from Natasha's sleeping frame. "Grissom," I answered as I stepped outside the room.

"It's Cath," a familar voice said. "Did everything go alright?"

Grissom smiled. "Yeah, Cath, it did. She's sleeping now."

"Sleepover," she said and Grissom could almost see her grinning. "Went more than alright, if you ask me."

"Yes...thank you, Catherine. For helping me."

"Anytime, Gris."

"How's...uh..."

"Fine. Working. She hates you."

A sigh. "I expected no less."

If the CSI were there, she would offer a protective pat on the back. "Sara...is a part of your past. You need to worry about the future. And if you need anymore help, call me, okay?"

Smile. "I might just call you while she's here..."

"Don't get greedy. Enjoy your vacation. Bye, Grissom."

"Good bye, Catherine."
