Kat looked at herself in the mirror at 6:15. She'd spent and hour deciding what to where. "It's dinner, with Adam" she told herself in the mirror. "Quit over thinking this, dummy" she shook her head. She'd finally settled on a soft pink, button down blouse with crochet lace trim around the bottom and a knee-length denim skirt. She pulled her hair back in a loose tail, letting a few strands frame her face.

Adam parked the car in front of Katherine's apartment building. "Stay here Anaya, I'm going to go get Kat, then we're gonna take you to see grandma."

"Yay! I get to see Kat-erine AND Gamma" Anaya said, bouncing in her booster-seat.

Adam laughed as he got out of the car. He walked up to Kat's door and knocked. As he waited for her, he smoothed out his black, button down shirt. He stuck his hands habitually in the pockets of his khakis. As Kat opened the door he quickly took them out. "Hey," he grinned at her. "You look great," he added stepping back to allow her to come out.

"So do you Adam, you clean up quite nicely" she said with a soft laugh.

Adam laughed, "I try, I try. We have to take Anaya to my moms before we go get something to eat; she's keeping an eye on her for me tonight." He walked back to the car and opened the door for her, "Milady" he said with an over-exaggerated bow.

"Always a gentleman," Kat laughed, sliding into the car. "Thank you kind sir," she said before Adam shut the door.

"Kat-erine! Kat-erine!" Anaya called happily from the back seat. "You look pretty!"

"Aww, thank you Anaya" Kat said turning back to her and giving her a smile. "Are you happy to go see your grandmother?"

Anaya nodded "Yes!!! She's gonna give me ice-cream, and cookies, and candy!!!!!"

"Oh really? I hope she knows she's keeping you tonight if she does that" Adam said with a laugh. "Mom is not gonna hype her up on sugar and send her home, no way."

"Paybacks?" Kat asked with a laugh.

"Probably" Adam replied with a smile.

After Adam dropped Anaya off, making his mom promise to keep her for the night, they decided on a place to eat. Adam pulled into the parking lot of Marcello's, a nice Italian eatery. "I've heard their food is amazing" he said as he opened the door for Kat.

Kat nodded, "So have I. Oh, it looks so beautiful in here" she said, pointing out the Italian paintings and maps on the walls.

Adam agreed as the hostess showed them to their seats. They laughed and joked as they made their drink and food decisions. After they placed their order, Adam folded his hands on the table, "So… what exactly brought you back here to Angel Grove?"

Kat sighed, "You first," she tried dodging the question.

"Aa-ah, nope, I asked you first earlier, so you first." Adam replied with a half-smile.

Kat nodded, "Alright, well, you know after graduation I was offered the position of a principal dancer in the RBC. It was wonderful" she smiled softly.

"A principal dancer? Is that a big thing?" Adam asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.

"It's sort of like one of the star dancers. It'd be like Clare in the Nutcracker, or Odette in Swan Lake" Kat replied. "So yes, it was a big deal for me. It was my dream come true ya know?"

"So what happened?" Adam asked, "I mean, why'd you stop?"

"I didn't have a choice. There was a fire scare during one of our shows, everyone started freaking out, running around madly. Four of us fell and pretty much got trampled. I broke my ankle and messed up my knee. After I healed, even though I could still dance, I still wanted to dance. I was too much of a liability to the company. So..." she trailed off, her face clearly saying what a crock of bullshit she thought their reason for letting her go was.

"So what do you think was the real reason they dropped you?" Adam asked, reading her expression perfectly. "I can tell you think that's bullshit."

"Do you know how weird it is to here you swear?" Kat asked with a chuckle, "There was a new dancer in the company, Iliana, everyone knows she was bloody shagging the director. I think they let me go so Iliana could take over as principal." She shook her head, "Iliana is a good dancer, but she's got shoddy technique," Kat added, a look of disgust on her face.

"Do you know how weird it is to here YOU swear?" Adam replied. He laughed at the look on Kat's face, "Ah, the claws come out" he teased.

"Oh shut up you!" Kat said with a laugh. "So, I came back to Angel Grove, since it's familiar to me. I went back to Australia first, but, it just wasn't home anymore."

Adam nodded, "Angel Grove is home to me too, I have the best memories of being here."

Kat nodded, "Exactly. So, what about you? What happened between you and Tanya, how did you get that adorable little girl, and how did you end up back here?"

Adam was silent for a moment, biting his lip as he thought through exactly how to tell her what had happened between him and Tanya 5 years ago. "Well…"

Author's Note2: Changed a bit of Kat's language. I want to keep it T, so, yeah.
