Caitlin. She didn't always dislike her given name. It used to make her feel all grown –up, and special when she was just a little girl. At that point in her life, no one ever called her Kate. She remembered the day that changed. It was during the first week of school when she was in third grade. She had used her given name during role call and one particularly annoying classmate started teasing her about it at recess. Putting that SOB right landed her in detention that afternoon, along with a phone call to her mother. The next day in class when roll was called, she told the teacher that she preferred 'Kate.' Even her mother called her 'Kate' after she got over being mad about her getting detention. From then on only her mother ever called her 'Caitlin', and only when she was very angry. Acquaintances would often call her 'Caitlin' but ever more than once, and she always introduced herself as 'Kate'. Being called 'Caitlin' only made her want to slap whoever was calling her that. Until she met him. She remembered the first time he had said her name out loud as she was lying face down on the autopsy table. She tried to glare up at him, but ended up just glaring. For some reason, however, she never told him that she only went by 'Kate', and he never called her anything but 'Caitlin'. She would never allow anyone else to use her given name, even as she grew to like it again, and as she grew to love him. No … use of her given name was reserved for Ari alone.
