For the past few weeks, I'd called Sabrina to check in on her and Hallie. While I was going back and forth between cases, I'd seen Sabrina briefly; she hadn't been sleeping, especially since the night her windows were shattered. Even from the first day I'd met her she seemed to have deep bags under her eyes from lack of sleep, but somehow, they'd gotten even worse. Although they made her look exhausted and a bit older, it never made her look any less beautiful and she never seemed to to not be smiling when I saw her.
Today, she was moving back into her home, and I'd gone over to her house to help make sure her security system was up and running, as well as an enthusiastic and affirmative Penelope.
"Okay, everything is up and running and looking good girlie," Garcia said, stepping down from one of Hallie's stools after clicking buttons on the security dial pad. "So, if you don't enter your code within sixty seconds of the alarm going off, the police and myself will be notified."
Sabrina smiled appreciatively at Garcia and looked up at the dial pad.
"What's the code?" She asked.
"I will leave that up to you, my darling. Just go ahead and enter in a six digit number and voila, you're secured."
Sabrina thought for a second before pressing six different buttons. I watched her small hands gently press in on 7 7 1 1 0 5.
I furrowed my brows as I wondered where she got the numbers from and opened my mouth to ask her, but was cut off by bright blue eyes and a tug at my hand.
"Hi, Spenter." Hallie smiled. I immediately bent down to her eye level with a wide smile.
"Hi, Hallie. It's good to see you," I reached behind her ear and showed her a quarter I'd "pulled" from her ear. "Is this yours?"
She giggled and shook her head, placing her hands behind her back. I reached behind her other ear and "pulled" out a small hair clip. "What about this?"
She smiled and nodded, gently taking the clip from my hands. I looked up to see Sabrina smiling softly at the two of us, and I tried to suppress my bashful smile and red cheeks by looking back down at Hallie holding the clip.
Garcia came up behind us and Hallie's attention was immediately elsewhere as she pointed to the crazy color pattern on her dress.
I stood up and walked over to Sabrina and awkwardly cleared my throat.
"Do you think you'll be able to get some sleep tonight?" I quietly asked her.
She kept her eyes on Hallie as she replied. "I hope so."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I was trying to be as helpful and considerate as possible without being too intrusive, but the sleep deprivation was only getting worse and we both knew it.
