Catherine glanced at the clock on her wall. A few minutes and she would get to go home to her wife. She groaned as her pager went off. She gave it a quick glance and saw that it was only Nick. The redhead gathered her things and walked to the Texan's office.
"Hey Nicky." She smiled walking into the room. "What did you want?" she asked.
"Hi Catherine," Nick smiled, "Ecklie was looking for you, so I told him you were already gone, I think he had a bunch of paperwork for you to do."
"Oh! No! I can't, I have to go home, today's…" She began.
"I know," Nick grinned, "You go home to Calleigh and I will see you tomorrow." He said.
"Bye Nicky." Catherine winked as she walked out of the office. She did the best she could to avoid Ecklie and got into her Buick. Her mind was on one thing, Calleigh and their night together. She knew the blonde would have had amazing things planned, especially since it had been six weeks since they had time alone. She pulled her car into the driveway and walked into the house.
"Calleigh, I'm home." Catherine yelled as she kicked the door close.
"I'm in the living room." Calleigh yelled back. The redhead smiled and kicked off her shoes. In her mind, she could already see Calleigh sitting on the couch in a gorgeous purple negligee, Catherine's favourite colour, surrounded by candles with soft music playing.
"Hey there…" Catherine said as she walked into the living room. The blonde was sitting crossed legs on the couch wearing black sweatpants and a thick Abercrombie and Fitch sweatshirt with a tub of ice cream between her legs and a spoon in hand. The redhead was slightly disappointed but couldn't help thinking that Calleigh looked adorable, even with her hair in a high, messy ponytail.
"Hi! How was work?" Calleigh asked as Catherine dropped beside her.
"I had to escape Ecklie to come home...how do you think it was?" she asked. Calleigh laughed and handed Catherine a spoonful of 'Rocky Road' ice cream. "What did you do all day?" the redhead asked, her mouth full.
"Well, I slept till like, noon, stayed in bed till two and then showered, put some clothes on and decided on watching chick flicks; I've been through The Devil Wears Prada, Titanic and now I'm watching Scream." The blonde said her eyes glued on the screen.
"Urm, Sweetheart, Scream isn't a chick flick." Catherine pointed out. The blonde nodded, her eyes glued on the screen.
"I'm going to make us some dinner, would you like some?" Catherine asked. Calleigh shook her head and pointed to the empty take out cartons on the coffee table.
"I saved some for you, leftovers are in the fridge." Calleigh said her eyes still on the screen.
"Would you like to eat your ice cream as I eat dinner?" Catherine asked standing, hoping the blonde would at least join her at the table. Calleigh shook her head again and shushed her. Catherine took the hint and got up to change and shower. She wasn't hungry anymore. Her throat was blocked by the lump that was slowly forming. She tried to hold back the tears when she realised Calleigh had probly forgotten about their anniversary. The redhead had bought a special negligee for the night and had planned on making dinner, but seeing as Calleigh had already eaten, that fell through. The redhead washed the dirt and the stress out of her hair, but couldn't wash out the pain she was feeling. She quickly dried herself and returned to the bedroom. Calleigh was already in bed and sleeping. A tear fell down Catherine's cheek as she sat at the kitchen table, eating her dinner alone, on her wedding anniversary. After she cleaned the dishes, she saw nothing else to do but go to bed; maybe she'd be able to cuddle to the blonde. She wrapped her arms tightly around Calleigh's waist and pulled her close. Catherine gently kissed Calleigh's shoulders and neck as her hands ran down the blonde's back.
"Not tonight, tired." Calleigh mumbled in her sleep. Catherine sighed and gave up. 'Might as well call this the crappiest day of all.' She thought to herself.
"Happy anniversary, sweetheart, I love you." Catherine whispered to Calleigh before closing her eyes.
