"You, daddy?" Momentarily forgot he wasn't on the precinct, but with his mother and child in his kitchen. He looked at Kate for help, but the detective was finding the situation mostly amusing, so was his mother.

"Well, you know.. because I'm always warm?" He said, though it sounded more like a question than a statement.

"Oh, ok" Alexis said buying into his improvised lie. His mother saluted him with her wine glass, as if saying 'nice safe, kiddo'.

Rick focused again at his task at hand, lowering the temperature of the burner, and then placing the bacon. Sure enough, he didn't have to avoid getting oil burns. He looked at the detective, who was looking far too smug for his liking. "I would've figure it out eventually"

And she didn't want to think about the awkward goodbye with Castle. I had a great time, she repeated in a mocking voice in her head, what was wrong with her?

"Hey Kate, wait. Your phone." Castle's voice snapped her from her thoughts, she saw him running towards her. Thankfully the elevator door hadn't closed, so she placed her arm so that they didn't.

She was sure there was some psychological explanation as to why she forgot, but she sure as hell wasn't going to analyze that. She pocketed her phone and with one last look at Castle, the elevator doors closed and officially ended the weirdest most fun time she'd ever had in some time.
