He's concerned

"I've had a good time," Grissom admitted without any pause. It was evident, by how he tightened his fingers around Sara's hands, that those words were just an opaque mirror of his thoughts about the afternoon they had shared.

Almost shaking with incredulity in front of his confession, Sara slowly raised her head and watched his eyes, analyzing the level of their honesty. She found them clearlike Caribbean waters. Her instinct pushed her to look for a cloud shrouding that blue sky, a splinter of insecurity disfiguring that perfection, but she only could find his shy soul as transparent and sincere as it had never been. At that sight, she could not suppress the blooming of a smile while realizing she didn't remember herself feeling such intense happiness. And, in that precise moment, she also realized that he, Grissom, was her real first love and that he willbe her only love for the rest of her life. Nothing was comparable – now or ever.

"May I kiss you?" she asked impulsively. Her eyes widened for the wonder of having said it aloud.

"Sure." He replied impulsively as well, but his voice was as quiet as the water of a lagoon. The surprise of receiving such a direct answer left Sara breathless. Not for long. “Can I do it first, though?" Grissom in fact said right after.

A sort of indecisiveness shone through Sara's face. "I'm under the impression that if I say yes, you won't do it now," she said.

"No, not now," he admitted.

"Oh my, three more years?"

"You know,” he good-naturedly threatened her, “if you keep reprimanding me after these damn three years, there's a well-founded possibility I won't ever do it."

Sara laughed. "I'm becoming a bit too annoying, am I?" she taunted herself without embarrassment.

Of that question, Grissom didn't hear a word, overwhelmed and flooded by her being as clear as Caribbean waters. By her being her, always and in any case. By her being the girl with the ponytail he couldn't even tell – at that moment – how many years before he had met. Maybe he had met her in another life, maybe he had known her forever. And he knew that yes, her being annoying was one of her best characteristics. Her smile seducedhim as it had always done, and he had to resist with all his energies the banality of kissing her now. He would do it as soon as possible, but he would do it surprising her, because when she was surprised she shone with the most beautiful light that a human being can emanate. To give her that brilliance was an intense pride he wanted to feel more and more often.

All that butterflies-in-the-stomach stuff people talk about, Grissom had never believed. He was a scientist. But when he heard Sara's giggle for the first time, he too understood what it was all about ― and he so liked, since then, to have his stomach churned whenever he got the chance. - Where the Desert and the Ocean Meet
