Disclaimer in chapter one.
Kate,
Do you have any idea how good you are with kids?
Probably not, you have this nasty little tenancy to put yourself down. I guess it keeps you modest, you are pretty much perfect in every other way. Sort of like Mary Poppins.
I first saw it during that case with the little missing girl, surprisingly it wasn't the way you treated her but the way you talked about the mother on the way back. You genuinely cared for her.
I know you're supposed to 'maintain a professional distance' and all that other noble crap but you couldn't help yourself. When there's a kid involved you turn into Extra-Super-Cop because, you know, you're always Super-Cop.
It's not just these random kids either that you're great with, you have no idea how much you've helped me with Alexis these past few years; She's growing into this beautiful young woman and you are in no small part to thank for that with all your advice on how to handle a teenage girl. Let's face it, my mother did all she could but she hasn't exactly been the best for advice, you saw her one-woman play.
If it wasn't for you I'd probably be locking her up in some hidden tower and shielding her from the world. You encouraged me to let her spread her wings, to test her feet and now my little baby is all grown up and going to college and I know that I have done everything I can to help her.
I'm not pressuring you but someday, if you wanted, you would be an amazing mother.
I love you.
'K' is for 'Kids' because, Kate, you're amazing with them.
Always,
Rick
