Right as Rain - Adele
There ain't no room in my bed as far as I'm concerned so wipe that dirty smile off, we.

"Goodnight Castle," she says slowly again, her hands pressing his into his chest, holding him at arms length as he leans forward attempting to kiss her goodbye, again.
She'd initiated it the first time, let him do it the second. The third had been a mutual thing. The fourth she doesn't even know and when it got to the eighth she realised she really had to get him out into the hallway, or close the door on him or something, neither of them will stop. Tonight isn't the night, not for that. They have all weekend for that, it's been arranged, kind of, mainly an unspoken agreement for her to stay. If it wasn't, if she's taken a liberty she knows he won't mind in the slightest. He's insisted on cooking dinner at the loft on Saturday night while his mother and his daughter are conveniently away. She isn't sure whether or not he arranged it deliberately or if it is just a happy coincidence. Either way she'll take the opportunity.
"Goodnight Kate," he mutters, finally saying the words and kissing her forehead, nose buried in the hair a second too long, taking in the smell she assumes.
She squeezes his fingers before she unwraps them from his own. "I'll see you tomorrow," she assures quietly, certain they'll catch another case, certain she'll catch the subway in and give herself an excuse to accept his offer for another lift home.
He steps forward again, crowding her a little, hand poised, about to run down her forearm when she raises a brow, a silent challenge. "Okay, okay I'm going." He kisses her check, and he does.
