View Point: First person, Eames.
We'd just arrested Peter Kelmer for his wife's murder, and I could tell he was feeling overly confident, I was feeling confident too, that we'd nail the bastard, that was until he decided to claim that with the right amount of plastic surgery, he could make even me beautiful. I tried to act like I didn't care about what he'd said but when he listed about six things he claimed were wrong with my face I was hurt. Still I nailed the interrogation with the precision I was sure he had used to chop up his wife's remains.
However back at my apartment that evening I lost it, specifically in one of my less than shining moments I began sobbing over a cup of yogurt.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Bobby was immediately behind me, wrapping his arms around my midsection. That's when he remembered what Kelmer had said earlier, "It's not about what Kelmer said earlier is it?"
I was already incoherent, so I just nodded a "yes".
He whirled me around to face him "He was just trying to throw you off your game. The perps always try to throw us off."
I let a small whimper escape from my throat "but he's right, I'll never be beautiful."
Bobby's eyes immediately went dark with anger, "Don't you dare say that Alex! What does he even know about true beauty?" he reached to wipe a tear off of my cheek.
I lean my head up against his chest until I am able to speak clearly again. Finally I ask, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Always."
What do you think? I find it cute.
