He drops her off in the lobby of the precinct before going through the metal detectors. In the corner along the memorial wall of fallen officers, he cups one of her elbows, lifting her up onto her toe tips to brush soft kisses over her lips. When she drops back to her heels, she reaches up to smooth back his hair.
"See you tonight?" she asks quietly.
He nods, sliding the coffee cup into her hand. "I'll make dinner. Stay safe, Ann."
She smiles, touching her lips to his cheek once more. "Love you."
Paul turns for the door. He nearly runs into the couple on the sidewalk, coffee cups caught between their bodies as they kiss near the exterior wall of the precinct. "Hello again, Detective, Mr. Castle," he says, dodging them as he jogs to grab the cab just passing by.
