After that finale, I've been reeling with emotions. I can't believe the show is over. Even though the end wasn't exactly what I wanted. I felt the need to continue what we were given on Tuesday. Please let me know what you think about this with a review, and/or a favorite. Thanks.
I don't own Perception or the characters of this TV show.
It had been several weeks since Kate and Donnie went on their honeymoon. Daniel knew that he would have to deal with his emotions, so it wouldn't ruin his chances of working with Kate on cases. Natalie appeared next to him on the sofa.
"What if Donnie told Kate already that you love her?"
"He wouldn't. Why would it matter anyways? He won."
"It's not a contest, Daniel. Kate isn't a prize."
"Don't you think I know that?" he shouted.
"Know what?" said Lewicki, as he walked into the living room. Natalie disappeared as quickly as she appeared earlier. Daniel started to fidget with his hand taping his arm. Both were dressed for another day at the university.
"It doesn't matter, Lewicki," said Daniel. Before Max could respond, the doorbell rang. It was Daniel's lucky break, and he quickly went to get the door. What he didn't expect, but hoped it would be, was on the other side. Kate stood there at her door radiating in an olive colored dress, and a smile on her face.
"It's good to see you," she said.
"Uh, why don't you come inside?" said Daniel.
"Are you sure? You aren't busy?"
"I always make time for you, Kate."
In the other room, Max shouted, "You have like 10 minutes before lecture, actually! Don't mind me! I'll just be here eating my cereal."
"Maybe we should chat outside instead," said Daniel.
"That works for me."
As they walk down the street, both couldn't figure out who would break the silence. "I think when you say chat, it goes along with actually saying something, Daniel," said Kate jokingly.
"Oh, yeah," he said fidgeting again. "Well, I figured you'll be busy now that you're married with Donnie. You won't have much time. Maybe I should focus more on teaching. So I should let you know now-I've decided that it might be best to not to consult on cases as much as I used to."
"Where is this coming from? Are you worried about what happened? Don't worry, Daniel. After some time, I'm sure my boss will stop his mission to find out what really happened. It shouldn't stop you from helping. Plus don't you enjoy working on cases? Doesn't it help?"
He couldn't handle seeing her like this. It was like she knew the right face to show him to make him rethink his decision. The younger version of him appeared, and Daniel tried to ignore him. "You really don't want to do that. You've missed, Kate. Why didn't you tell her? Maybe you should tell her now," DJ told him.
"I can't!" said Daniel.
"What do you mean, you can't, Daniel?" said Kate puzzled and clearly hurt.
"It best that you don't know. I don't want to ruin anything. Plus I'm glad that you're happy with Donnie," he said.
"What does my happiness with Donnie have to do with this? Please, Daniel," she looks toward him, "Help me understand why you don't want work with me anymore."
"It's not you, Kate, or what happened. Well, kind of."
"Daniel, like I told you, it will be fine. You know you can tell me anything," said Kate. Daniel nodded, and sighed. On the other side of Daniel, DJ looked as if he was trying to nudge Daniel towards Kate, but Daniel step back and away from Kate instead.
"I know. I just don't want to loose you," said Daniel.
"It must have been tough for you, but I'm safe now," she replied.
"Yes, I am worried about that too, but it's not what I'm referring to. I'm not even sure if Donnie has told you or not."
"What are you talking about? He hasn't said anything about you. Actually he tried change the subject every time I brought you up during our honeymoon. I know that sounds odd. I just couldn't stop thinking about how you were. I was worried about you, and how my honeymoon was changing your schedule. He kept telling me that I needed to enjoy the time we had, which he was right. Yet it didn't feel right to have a good time. Donnie wasn't really happy about it," said Kate.
"I'm sorry that I caused problems," said Daniel.
"It's not your fault. So what were you going to tell me," she said.
"I really shouldn't. I don't want to cause more problems. I should get back. I'm sure Lewicki is impatiently waiting for us to go to the university."
"Daniel, you don't want to work with me. Does this mean you don't want to be friends with me either?"
"I want to be friends! I want to work with you!"
"Then what's the problem?"
Just like that he blurted out his confession, "I love you, Kate..."
