"Stay with me?" Maura asked as she motioned for Jane to follow her to the master bedroom.
"I was going to insist," the detective nodded as she set her things down and secured her weapon in the top drawer of the night stand. "I'm going to hit the guest bath to get ready for bed."
"Okay, I'm going to shower. If you make it back before I come out again, just pick a side." The doctor motioned to the bed.
"Holy crap, Maura, you're freezing," Jane yelped as Maura slid into the bed next to her. "Did you take a cold shower?"
"No, but you know I'm normally cold. I'm sorry; I can try to scoot further to the edge." The tiredness in the honey brunette's voice made her sound broken.
Reaching out, Jane pulled Maura to her, wrapping her arms around the other woman from behind. "If you tell anyone I'm a cuddler, I'll mix up all your shoes and have Frost teach me how to block your favorite shopping sites on your work computer," she lightly threatened as they both settled in.
"Your secret is safe with me, Jane." Maura was quiet for a moment. "Thank you for helping me warm up, and thank you for being here."
"Hey, it's what LLBFF's are for, right?" They chuckled.
"It's a cold case. Shelve it. We've got lots more that could use our attention right now," Korsak said as she handed over the Yansey file. "Wish we could have found them, though. Bastard's got the doc, still have the body, and we didn't get them."
"I'm not going to stop looking. This is the top of my pile when we have downtime," Jane said as she opened her desk drawer and placed the file inside. "Maura's never been the same since they took her."
"I know what you mean. Does she even go anywhere on the weekends anymore?" Frost said as he sat back at his desk.
"Yeah, I mean we still do stuff, but something's off, you know? She's Maura, but she's not, and there are nights that I can't get ahold of her at all. It's like she completely disappears from the face of the planet. It's weird. I can't put my finger on it, but something happened that night that she's not telling any of us, and it really messed with her." Jane shook her head. "I'm worried about her."
"Maybe you two could take a couple of days off and go somewhere? What is it you women call it? A 'girls' weekend out' or something like that?" Rolling his eyes, Korsak walked back to his desk.
"That's not a bad idea, Korsak. I bet Ma's driving Maura nuts, too. I think we both have this weekend off. Maybe we can go to upstate New York for a little bit?" Jane started pulling information on her computer about cabins in the area.
