*dies* Chinese class is killing me, but I still managed to post tonight! Victory. Also, I got the games idea from JuliaBC's story, "Playing Games", which is fabulous, BTW.
Flames will be donated to the KJBWFF
Kate turned her keys in the door, calling out "I'm home!" to announce her prescence to Meg.
The last case had been a rough one, and she needed, more than anything, to see her niece.
"Hi, Kate," Meg said from where she sat on the couch, sprawled out very much like a napping cat in the sun. Kate laughed and ruffled her hair.
"How are you?" Kate asked, pulling Meg into a hug.
"I'm ok. How was your case?" Meg asked innocently, even though she could read Kate as well as anyone, and knew that something was wrong.
"It was… tough," Kate admitted honestly. "But let's not talk about that. Let's play a game, instead." Meg jumped off the couch and grabbed Monopoly off the shelf, which had always been her favorite. The two sat around the coffee table, with Chris joining them moments later as Kate sought solace in her family, playing a board game together and pretending to be normal.
