"Have you read it?"

"No."

"You going to?"

"Maybe. Eventually."

"You know we won't be over just because they're over, right?"

"I..."

"Beckett, I'm not leaving."

"I know. I know. But I'm not going to read it. Not right now."

"Whenever you're ready. Plus, if you get sad after reading it, I've got it on good authority that I'm pretty decent at comforting distressed women."

"Women?"

"Uh, yes. You and my daughter. No one else. Not anymore."

"Good. Now let's go grab dinner, okay?"

"Chinese?"

"Was thinking pizza but I could go for some General Tso's Chicken. And Kate? Don't worry about it. I'm not offended."

"Oh yes. Because I was worried about offending you. However will your ego survive?"

"See if you get your ginger beef and string beans tonight."

"See if you get any tonight."

"Empty threat. You could never resist me."

"Doing a pretty good job of resisting you right now."

"You're resisting my words. It's not the same."

"You really wanna take that chance though?"

"Damn it. Come on!"

"Get me my beef and string beans and maybe you'll become a little more irresistible."

"Wow. Kate Beckett bought for some Chinese food. How-"

"You say cheap and you are never getting me naked ever again."

"Gonna go order now while I'm winning. Still not offended, by the way."

"Maybe just the dedication..."


Thank you, Kate, for everything.
