Disclaimer: I do not own CSI, the big boys at CBS do.
A/N: Just a short one-shot/drabble that came to be today and I thought I would share it with you wonderful people.
Sara stood in front of the floor length mirror in the bathroom after she had finished in the shower. Work had been a little rough and she was finding sleeping and eating difficult. Long slender arms wrapped around her waist and a kiss was placed on her shoulder blade.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"I'm good Cath, just thinking of how I look."
"You don't –" Catherine was cut off by the ringing of the phone. By the time she got back, Sara was already dressed in heavy pyjamas and lay on one side of the bed. Sighing, Catherine slid under the blanket and tried to put her arms around Sara as she did every night, but Sara slid out and silently went to the guest room across the hall.
Sara pulled the blanket of the cold lonely bed up to her chin and she closed her eyes as a few tears escaped her grasp. The image of her battered body reflected in the mirror less than half an hour ago in her constant vision. Racking sobs soon took over her body, causing Catherine to come running.
"Go away Cath," Sara sobbed.
"No Sara. Tell me what's wrong."
Instead of talking, Sara stood and stripped right down to her underwear.
"Oh honey. Are you worried I don't like your body any more?"
Sara nodded and melted into her lovers' arms.
"You're always beautiful to me. I'm always going to love you." Catherine brushed her lips against Saras' and then proceeded to show her just how beautiful she was and just how much she lover her.
