AN : I deleted my story and am trying this again. Apparently there is a reviewer who doesn't understand my difficulties in writing this and getting it over to the fan fic program/app..., and thinks ridiculing is better than constructive criticism. So lets try this one more time. Hi and welcome to my first story in 12 years. Maybe I should say that again. I haven't written anything in 12 years, so I apologize for any glaring grammatical or spacing errors there are. I own only the characters I made up. Thanks and enjoy .
Chapter 1
The meet
The day started out like any other. Rick Castle was walking to the 21st, not really paying attention to where he was going. Thoughts of Kate were clouding his mind… when he collided with another pedestrian .
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry !" he looked down to see a tiny woman fumbling for her phone she dropped when she ran into him.
"no it's my fault I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm so sorry, here let me " he bent down to pick up the device and hand it to her. The woman smiled and held out her hand for her phone. She looked somewhat familiar... he couldn't place where he had seen her before . She looked into his eyes.
"Ricky? Is that you?"
The lightbulb went off in Castles brain . He recognized her voice even after all these years.
"Kat ? My god how are you?" He couldn't believe his luck. Katherin Bend, his first true love , had just collided with him on a busy N.Y.city street. He hadn't seen her in 20 years, and today of all days was when fate intervened. He pulled her into a tight hug . He could feel her relax and wrap her arms around him. They pulled apart and he grabbed her hands .
"What are you doing here ? How have you been ? What have you been doing ?" rapid fire questions came at her .
She laughed , that same laugh he remembered .
" I'm good Rick. How are Martha and Alexis? How's the writing? I read your latest best seller… I would love to meet your muse! "
He grinned "What a perfect idea ! I was just on my way to the precinct right now . You have to come with me and meet everyone ! "
She smiled and nodded. They walked towards the precinct never noticing the man staring at them from across the street.
