Le Cirque
When Beckett arrived at work she was feeling like she hadn't seen Lanie in a long time. Now that could have been partially because Beckett was no longer a detective or at the 12th. Once she was all set in her office and was able to see where the boys and her exes were with the case they had; Beckett would retreat to her office to call her friend to see if she was available for lunch at Le Cirque that afternoon.
"Hey Lanie; are you free for lunch at Le Cirque? I've got Castle's credit card…" Beckett asked.
"Yeah, I'm free. What time do you want to meet up, girl?"
"I'm free at any time."
"How's 1pm; sound?"
"Sounds great."
"See you then; Kate."
"See you at Le Cirque."
Beckett then went about her business in her office. Since her exes had invited themselves to Beckett's precinct she tried her hardest to avoid them. Of course Sorenson and Demming clearly knew that Beckett was avoiding them.
At one point; Sorenson came into Beckett's office to debrief her when it came to the case. Throughout the course of the debriefing it was clear that Sorenson had another idea.
Sorenson went in for the kiss.
"Oh! I thought cops and Feds hated each other."
"They say justice never sleeps. I think I know why."
"We were just, uh…"
"Being consenting adults. I'm not judging."
And just as she had pushed Eric Vaughn away; Beckett pushed Sorenson away.
"Will; this can't happen. I'm happily married to Castle."
"Okay I got it."
After that Sorenson left Beckett's office to return to the case. In the back of Beckett's mind; she half expected Demming to do the same as Sorenson at one point or another. Beckett also had to tell Castle later on; she wasn't looking forward to that.
Hours had passed and it was time for lunch with Lanie. Beckett was definitely looking forward to this lunch. On her way out; Beckett let Ryan and Espo that she was going to lunch with Lanie and that she would have her phone on her if they needed her for anything before she was on the elevator.
