Just the way you are
"Calleigh, I love you just the way you are, in fact I wouldn't change a thing," said Horatio and smiled over at the blonde that stood opposite her. Even if she was slowly getting older, her hair was still as golden as the sun above them.
"Oh would you stop it, I'm not all that," said the old blonde, blushing shyly at him.
"Oh but you are, you are amazing," he said and smiled at her, he had thought that already the first day he meet her.
She didn't replay to that, just smiled back at him, a smile that could light up a whole room, a smile that took his breath away every time, a smile that made his heart beat faster.
"Will you stop looking at me like that," she said with a slight giggle.
"No as I could look at you forever and my eyes would never get tired," he answered her as it was true, he could really do that, just look at her, all day, every day without getting tired.
"Well I must admit that goes both ways, handsome," she said, smiling even more brightly. Even after all these years he was still as handsome as the day they first meet, at least she thought so. And there was never a day she would regret becoming his wife.
"Hmmm," he said, his answer to all that was, a simple word that signified him and all he was.
"So are you coming?" she asked, nodding towards a dead body that lay in front of them. A dead body that he for some reason seemed to forget about just because he was to caught up in her.
"I will follow you wherever you go," he said with a chuckle, making her roll her emerald eyes at him.
"You are completely hopeless you know that," she said, rolling them again.
"Hopelessly in love with you my dearest, and I don't think you mind all that much," he answered her.
"Never, I can never mind anything you do or say," she said, turning her attention to the dead woman in front of her instead of her husband. He just smiled at her, he didn't mind it at all, in fact he didn't mind anything she should happen to do as he loved her for all that she was and he always would. His amazing bulletgirl, his wife.
"Would you hurry up, we don't have all day," he heard her say, but not in an annoyed way, she was just doing it to make sure he would do just that, which he quickly did. After all the old Caine knew better than to go against his wife, he had learned that lesson before and besides he was after all there to work, not get lost in her even if he would rather do that any time of day or night for that matter, she was simply so amazing in every little way.
