A little while later, the evening comes to an end as Gibbs and Kate make their way into Kate's apartment. Kate walks over to the coffee table and sets her purse and keys down on it, with Gibbs following her.
She turns back around to face him and puts her arms around his neck. "This has been the best birthday of my whole life," she says, smiling, and as he wraps his arms around her. "Thank you."
He smiles back at her. "You're welcome."
She pulls his head down, slightly, and brushes his lips with her own.
"Well, I'm gonna head out. Happy Birthday."
She smiles. "Thank you."
He pulls her into a full embrace. "I love you."
"I love you, too."
After the hug breaks, Kate escorts him to the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he says, opening the door.
"Okay," she says, smiling slightly.
He gives her a quick kiss before leaving.
Kate shuts the door behind him.
