Hello friends. This is yet another Mcroll story. Remembering that I don't own the characters, it's just a story from fan to fan.
Catherine arrived at the hotel, took the room keys from reception, and crossed the lobby to the elevator.
"Eighth floor," she thought as she hit the elevator button.
She got out of the elevator and walked towards her room. It was the same hotel and the same room where she stayed when she was still in the Navy and came to Hawaii to visit Steve, the same room where he gave her chocolates on Valentine's Day.
"But everything is different now. Steve has a girlfriend," Catherine thought as she opened the door.
She put the suitcases by the bed, pinned up her hair and put her hands on her hips. "What am I doing here?"
Catherine took off her blazer, opened the fridge, and grabbed a beer. She looked out the window while drinking her beer very slowly. "I need to start over. But how do I start over with this feeling of something unfinished?"
Leaving the agency was a decision she made after learning of Doris' death. She did not want to have the same end as her almost ex-mother-in-law. And thinking about Doris, her mind traveled to the time that her parents were alive, there was the Navy, there was Steve ... "I did crazy things for him. And now I have nothing, I have nobody. It seems that all my happiness was left in the past."
Catherine opened the suitcase and looked for comfortable clothing. "I urgently need a hot shower," she thought.
After the shower, Catherine got ready and went for a walk on the beach, thinking about the future, thinking about what to do.
"Hmm, I suddenly felt like eating ice cream."
Catherine entered the ice cream parlor.
Some time later, Junior arrived at the headquarters and called Danny in a corner.
Steve saw it and found it strange. He approached slowly to hear what was going on.
"What is it, Junior?" Danny asked.
"I saw Catherine on the beach today. Do you think I should tell Steve?" Junior asked.
"Is Catherine on the island?" Steve asked.
"Do you usually hear now behind the doors, Steve?" Danny asked.
Steve ignored Danny and focused on Junior. "Did you talk to her, Junior?"
"No, Steve. She left the beach, crossed the street and entered an ice cream parlor," Junior said.
"Did you follow all her steps and didn't speak to her? Is that it?" Steve asked.
"Yes, that's it. I'm sorry," Junior replied.
"And was she alone?" Steve asked.
"Yes, she was alone," Junior replied.
"Okay," Steve replied and went to his office.
"What did you come here to do, Catherine? I waited for you for so long and you're coming back just now?" Steve thought.
At the end of the day, Steve got in his car and drove home. He stopped at the street and thought for a few seconds. He picked up his phone and called her.
Catherine was lying on the bed, resting, and she saw Steve's face on the screen of her phone.
"It is not possible for him to know that I am here."
She ignored his calls, but he insisted.
"Did he see me on the street?" she thought.
Catherine resisted and did not answer his calls.
"Sorry, sailor. But I don't get involved with committed men." She turned to the other side of the bed and slept.
"Why do not you answer?" Steve thought. He continued on his way home when his phone rang, and it was his girlfriend.
"I'm sorry for not calling, I had a really busy day at work and I'm going home now," Steve told Susan.
"When are we going to see each other, Steve?" Susan asked.
"I don't know, maybe tomorrow or the day after," Steve replied.
Meanwhile, Catherine was sleeping soundly.
