So lately I've been writing some tiny one-shots and decided to share them. I'm going to try and update at least twice a week.

This is my first one, based on a line from the 5x10 promo.


"You're not the man I thought I knew," her voice breaking as she says the words.

"Kate, I -"

"Rick, let me finish." She takes a deep breath. "You're not the man I thought I knew. I thought I knew you. I've had this idea of who you are for five years - longer even." A tear rolls down her face and she knows that he is scared. She knows that he doesnt have any idea what she will say. "Time and time again, you've shown me that you're not that man," she pauses, her eyes flicking to the ground quickly before back up to his, "you're so much more. I just, I had no idea."

He took a step towards her and his eyes drifted to his hands, "I'm sorry Kate, I just, I mean, what happened back then with Meredith, it's not something I like to tell people," his eyes met hers once more, "but I should have told you. I mean, I did kind of let you think otherwise"

"Don't worry about it," she said, biting her lip lightly, "I love you anyway"
