Together with You

Chapter Summary: Waiting for Rick to arrive, Kate patiently waits, plotting on how to carry her next plan of action out.


Not even Lanie knew she was back. Heck, not even the Javin pair -Ryan and Esposito- knew that she had returned. Kate was really surprised that no one decided to check on her yet since she did announce that she was supposed to be back by now.

Shrugging, she supposed they thought she was just resting a bit more before going back to work. Technically they were right, though. She was taking a break just not the one they probably thought about.

Looking into her half-empty coffee cup and untouched cake slice, Kate wondered what time Rick Castle would arrive and wondered how in the world they would start talking. They always started with Castle handing her coffee but now that they were in a coffee shop things change in dynamics, she supposed.

Chuckling to herself as she thought of 50 different scenarios that Castle would break the ice and possibly make a fool of himself, Kate reached for her coffee and decided to finish it.

'Okay, Castle, let's make an opening for you,' she thought before going off to order a morning smoothie that she could have in the meantime.

Checking the clock that was being displayed beside a lamp post, she wondered just when the author would get there.

And maybe, try and figure out which of the 50 scenarios would play out once he does get there.
