Disclaimer: I don't own any CSI: NY characters (even though their names are actually never mentioned) I don't own the song either.
Summary: Based on the song "Come back to Bed" by John Mayer, if you know the song you know the story.
He was laying in the dark. He could see the full moon's light glaring through the window. He had heard her crying, lying next to him. Then he felt her get out of bed and heard her as she walked out of the room and down the hall. He rolled over and his hand landed in the warm spot where her body had been. He looked toward the empty bathroom. He knew he had done something wrong.
She had lain in the bed with him for only an hour before she had left. She could never sleep after they had argued. She would usually just lie in the bed, though, or try to talk to him about it. She had, tonight, left the bed, and the room.
He got up and wandered through the dark apartment. She was sitting in a chair by the window in the living room. She was staring at the street below them. He approached her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Come on baby, come back to bed."
She just continued her stare out the window.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
She shook her head.
"I don't know what you want me to do. Just tell me what I did wrong and then I can try to fix it."
She still remained silent.
"Listen, I'm sorry about whatever I said or did. Will you please just come back to bed? You can be mad in the morning. You need to come and sleep with me. I need you."
Now, she turned. He had said something she wanted to hear.
"I can't sleep without you next to me. Please."
She stood and stared into his eyes.
"I love you. I don't want you to be mad at me."
She wanted to confess why she had been upset, but she didn't know how to say it. She wanted him to realize what he had done wrong.
"I need you," she finally started. "I need you to try to remember what today is."
"What today is?"
"Yes."
"Today is Friday, October twenty…" his voice trailed. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry. I can't believe I forgot. I'm so, so sorry."
She smiled slightly. "Today was the day, all day."
"I know and I forgot. I can't tell you how sorry I am."
"The first one you've missed in 6 years."
"I know baby, I don't have any excuse."
"It's an anniversary, it's kind of major."
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, and apologized again. She put her arms around his neck with her right hand caressing his head.
"I still love you," she whispered and they both laughed.
They held each other for a while, and then he said, "Now, will you come back to bed?"
"Yeah," he took her hand and led her back to their bedroom.
