"Whatever it is, just show me the damn thing." Her tone is more amused than annoyed, but Catherine can tell the drawing out is weighing upon her nerves. Still, Catherine cannot quite bring herself to come out with it, and evades the demand.

"Well, it's important what you think." She dissembles.

"Just show me. Lindsay's birthday present cannot be that big a deal." Sara is obviously becoming frustrated with her continual evasions. Without another word, Catherine swings open the door to her laundry.

Chewing the cords around the washing machine is a puppy.

As Catherine watches, Sara's expression turns from vague annoyance to pure delight. Before she can say a word, Sara has stepped over the barrier into the laundry and scooped the puppy up into her arms.

"So this is the big surprise, ey?" she coos to the puppy. Catherine cannot suppress a brief moment of the most irrational jealousy she's ever felt.

Sara looks up in time to see the last of it cross her face. She moves to put an arm around Catherine before the thought is even complete.

"Oh babe, I have a weakness for puppies, but I have a far larger one for you." She presses as close as she can to Catherine, and kisses her while the puppy squirms.
