Disclaimer: Still not mine, none of it.

A/N: I have been writing a posting ficlets over at my livejournal and I wasn't sure what to do with them and while I was thinking about a new ficlet I thought I might as well post them over here as one ficlet. Each chapter is a separate conversation though and has nothing to do with any of the other chapters.

Pairing: I guess N/S in most chapters.

"She is not going to wait forever, you know." Nick wasn't sure Sofia's words were directed at him even though he was the only other person sitting in the break room.

"Sara." Sofia clarified although she was pretty sure Nick knew who she was talking about.

"Sara will always be waiting for Grissom." Nick mumbled just loud enough for Sofia to hear.

"She isn't waiting for Grissom anymore, hasn't been for a long time either." Nick looked at her disbelievingly.

"And no other woman should for that matter." Sofia continued softly as if she was talking to herself more than to anyone else.

"If she isn't waiting for Grissom what is she waiting for then." Sofia couldn't believe how dumb the male CSIs working at the Las Vegas Crime Lab could be sometimes.

"She is waiting for someone to sweep her of her feet."

"Oh." Nick didn't know what to say to that. His heart was beating so loudly, he could hear it himself.

Sofia contemplated just giving up. It seemed like CSI Stokes would be just as hesitant in doing something about his feelings as Gil Grissom had been, but something about Nick made her continue.

"That someone could be you, should be you." She looked up slightly to gauge his reaction.

She was satisfied to see a dark red color had appeared on his cheeks.

Stokes wasn't a lost cause after all.
