Thirtieth Draft [Voice]

[cuffmeonce]

My mother has arrived in the City. It's something I'm grateful for and something I feel guilty for as well. It adds another layer of normalcy to this place for both me and Alexis. I think it does for Kate as well. However curses like yesterday illustrate to me all the reasons I'm being selfish in being joyful at having her here.

Yesterday was...interesting and cruel. We shouldn't be forced to share our fears like that.

Did everyone make it out relatively alright?

Martha's revelation boggles Castle. Completely. "Why would I be dating Gina? We're divorced. She's my publicist."

"Well, Richard, you decided to take the Summer in the Hamptons to write Naked Heat and Gina went with you to make sure wrote. You returned and you two were -- involved again." She sighs. "But, you make your own decisions."

"Why?" More wtfing at Martha. "I left Kate in New York City..." He shakes his head. "It doesn't matter here."

A very long pause. "Don't say anything to Beckett about Gina. She's got enough reservations about dating me here without knowing what's going on in our world."

"You -" she tries, thinking about that. "I don't know why you do why you do. I've only been married five times."

She blinks at that before pulling her gloves off. "Far-be-it for me to meddle in your dalliances." She pauses. "Not that Beckett is a dalliance." Another pause. "She better not be a dalliance, Richard."

"Kate is absolutely not a dalliance."

He takes a sip of his coffee and another bite of the brownie. "Kate's different. She has been since...I first saw her."
