Rainy Nights
Author: Evil Genius Girl
Rating: PG
Summary: Catherine has insomnia
Spoilers: most of Season 6, season 5 too just to be safe.
God, I hate rainy nights. They remind me of things I'd rather forget, namely Eddie, his girlfriend at the time of the accident, and nearly losing my baby girl. Fortunately, Lindsey seems to have recovered from that fairly well; whoever said kids were resilient knew what they were talking about.
I swirl the vodka and orange juice around in my glass and think about calling Gil. Only for a second, though, and then I remember what Sara was telling me in the lab earlier this evening. Gil finally managed to pull his head far enough out of the microscope and see what was going on around him. Of course, it probably didn't hurt that Sara was the first person he saw holding a cup of coffee. People who bring Gil coffee when he's pulling a triple tend to stay on his good side, and apparently that's all he needed to muster up the courage to ask her over for dinner.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, of course. I know I should be happy for them, but somehow, with everything that's happened lately, especially Warrick's wedding (who saw THAT coming?), I just don't understand my co-workers anymore. What's with me and rain? It always makes me think about things I'd rather not feel. God, I hate rainy nights.
