She loved him.

Kate wasn't sure of much else in this place but that fact was very clear in her head. She loved him too much to let it end like that, and she had enough faith in him to hope that he felt the same way. The fears were still there; the idea that they had allowed their relationship to make them too complacent, the fact that their relationship hinged solely on their time on the island, the fact that she knew getting him home to Alexis might mean losing everything they had.

And then the tiny fact that she was happier here than she had ever been back in New York.

But if the last four days had proved anything it was that she couldn't do this without him. Kate didn't want to do it without him, not if she didn't have to. But she was worried she had damaged him so much that he would shy away and she wanted to make sure she didn't do any more damage by waiting too long.

Waiting was what had done damage in the first place.

So she didn't call ahead, she just showed up at his door, hoping he would be home. And she knocked, hoping he would answer.

Castle- did not look good when she answered the door. He was pretty unkempt, and unshaven, as he tended to be when he didn't feel like taking care of his appearance. He was obviously tired and lacked a lot of the usual radiance and energy that he exuded.

He didn't look surprised at Kate's arrival, because some part of him had been expecting it. He had no idea where this was going to go or what was going to happen, but it was going to, so he was going to deal with it.

"Come in," he mumbled. "I'll put some coffee on."
