Im proud of myself, another chapter. This one is kinda small but i like it. Its got the whole one step forward two steps back in it.

Im not really sure why but im loving the rain lately so it will show up in this story a little more often then normal.

Kate was sitting on her kitchen counter watching the rain splash against the window. Something about the rain was making her happy. It wasn't raining as hard as last night but it wasn't just misting either. The rain gave her energy. It made her feel safe for reasons she did not understand. The soft sound of the rain hitting the glass was all she could here. It had her hypnotized. She wanted to feel the rain, to let it surround her.

She grabbed a chocolate covered pretzel and popped it into her mouth before hopping off the counter. She pulled her shoes on and grabbed a jacket before leaving her apartment. She didn't know where she was going but she had to do something. When she reached her car she popped her trunk and pulled out the umbrella she rarely used. Then she started to walk.

…..

Castle slowly made his way through the crazy streets of New York trying to find his way to that park; the park where his worries washed away and he could be himself. Something about that park let both of them be themselves. He wanted to feel that again. He wanted the memory of how free Kate looked swinging. He thought about this morning, waking up with her there, in his arms. He wanted that again. He wanted to feel the pull she had on his heart. The best he could do for today was try to find the park. He had contemplated calling her but he decided against it. She probably had more to do this weekend then waste time with him.

Then he found the park and he saw her. She was sitting on a swing with her back to him.

It can't be.

He didn't believe it. Sure he believed in fate in the movies, but running into her here, it couldn't be real.

But it was. She was there, swinging slowly.

He slowly made his way over to the swings. He knew sneaking up on her was dangerous but he couldn't help himself. When he got as close as he dared to get he spoke.

"What are you doing?" She jumped and spun around. She squinted through the rain and then recognition swept across her face.

"Castle, what are you doing here?" She didn't seem angry but she sure was surprised.

"I was walking and felt like going to the park. What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I was walking and this is where I ended up." She said simply. He moved closer to her with the threat of her shooting him being gone.

"I like it here, I feel so…"

"Complete." She finished for him when he couldn't find the word. A smile spread across his lips and hers too.

"Yeah, it feels right to be here."

She was lazily holding her umbrella so it was only covering her back. He had forgotten his umbrella so he just let his hair get soaked. Thinking about it now he probably should have gone back for it. Her hair was wet but not soaked. She bit her bottom lip and he felt his heart pull. It killed him when she did that. She blinked away rain that had made its way to her lashes.

She is so beautiful.

The day was slowly ending and darkness was settling in. Soon, Castle would be very cold.

A stray stand of hair fell across her face and stuck to her cheek. Instinctively Castle move to brush it back. His hand was already brushing her soft skin when he realized what he was doing. Her eyes flickered up to meet his and he felt that same pull on his heart. It made him feel completely defenseless but he didn't care.

Then the hair was back in its place. He lightly caressed her cheek before pulling his hand away and taking a step back. He thought he saw disappointment cross her face but he couldn't tell threw the rain.

The moment was over.

She sat back down on the swing and he sat next to her. Neither of them spoke. They both stole glances at each other.

"I think…" He said slowly. "…that we should declare this our park." She let out a small laugh.

"Sounds good to me."
