Title: Half-Full Fandom: CSI Character: Sara Sidle Word Count: 169
The pessimist sees the glass as half empty. The optimist sees it as half full.
Most of the time, the knowledge that her happiness would prove temporary stayed at the back of her mind.
In her relationships and habits, Sara always proved consistent. Though she was with Barry at the moment, she had still fallen for a man who would not be with her, in the long run.
Her work had been her pride. While at the lab, she had felt she was making a difference and bringing justice to those who would go beyond the law. But now she called two vigilantes her brothers and would remain silent beyond their deaths. It goes against everything she fought for her entire life.
But Barry has made her smile each day. Murphy and Connor have given her the family she never had. She would be left bereft when they left her, but could not quite bring herself to instigate the inevitable separations.
Once she asked Grissom if a murder gene could exist. She knew now that it did. Knowing such joy would eventually kill her.
