We drove to Castle's house in silence. Martha was out on a weekend
away and Alexis was at college. We paid the taxi driver, then walked
up to his loft. Something wasn't quite right.

Dear Rick,

That thing about letting go was really sweet. Today was one of my
workmates birthdays. We didn't get much work done. Josie helped me
make the birthday cake. We all had a really good day. Earlier in the
week the police found some new evidence connected to Eva's kidnapping.
Like the police promised, I was allowed to look at the evidence and
case files. I found a few things that didn't seem quite right, so I
sent the files back to the police to review. Hopefully something new
will surface. Like you suggested, I'm not letting myself get too
emotionally involved in her case. It's for the better. Martha and
Alexis are coming to visit tomorrow. I hope I don't let them down, I
don't think I could live with it. I'm also guessing that my dad will
be visiting you. I would just like to let you know that in about two
months Josie and I have planned a trip. We will be stopping by in
Montreal. I know that there are spies out there watching our every
move, but maybe we could sneak a visit in. It's dangerous and the
consequences could be extreme, but I would risk it for you.

I continue to think about you constantly. Not in a punishing way, but
just because I have so many good memories.

Oh! That picture?! That's Josie and I! I don't know what I expect you
to do with it, but I wanted you to have it. I should be off. Got to
get some sleep for tomorrow!

Love Kate.

Dear Kate,

Guess who visited me last week?! Your father! I got a bit emotional at
first. He asked if I was crying but I said it was the onions. Even
though we were in the elevator up to my apartment. He gave me the same
look you used to give me. I felt like I was living my old life. Back
in New York. Back with you. And Everyone else. Solving murders and
catching criminals. I miss that. Although I am adjusting to life in
Montreal, it's just not the same. Your dad and I talked for ages. He
told me about life back in New York. He told me about what has been
happening. Yesterday the authorities came to escort him back to New
York. The also did a check of the apartment. I thought that they would
find this letter. It was on my bedside table. But they didn't. I
almost had a heart attack I was so afraid.

Thank you very much for the picture. I put it in my wallet. That way
you are always with me.

I am so excited for you to come. About the time you are coming, there
is a fair on. It is a very busy fair, so maybe if we meet up in one of
the tents. I am so looking forward to it. I don't care if we get
caught, it will be totally worth it.

Can't wait to hear from you,

Castle
