[ She watched his armor fall and the knot in her stomach tightened, as did her grip on his hand. She knew that sign of weakness and her first instinct was to do everything she could do to protect him. He was one of her boys; her workmate, her friend, and once or twice, something more. She couldn't help but remember how comfortable she was with him, how easily he brought down her guard with that disarming smile and bright blue eyes. He usually made her weak but sometimes she also knew she had to be strong for him. ]

How long are you in town for? [ She leaned back slightly, but she didn't let go of his hand. She would let him decide when he wanted to break contact. ] I can take some leave, and we can figure this out together. I can help you find a hotel or... [ Another pause, as she considered. Kate still remembered how she had sought him out in her time of need, and how he had opened up to her. She imagined now wouldn't be all that different. ] You can stay at my apartment if you want to.

Not sure. Long as I need to be. I think the agency is starting to doubt my competence. Same with Tuck. I think he thinks I'm cracking up.

[ Tuck was his best friend, but it was true. He was watching FDR crumble. He was watching his best friend break apart at the seems because he couldn't get anyone to just believe him. It was a hard story to follow though. None of it made any sense to an outside and he can imagine it'd be hard to take it on faith a lone. Tuck may not have completely given up on FDR, but he can feel that trust slipping away. He's starting to truly believe that FDR is losing control of himself after all these years. He's starting to believe that he's lost his way.

FDR actually cracks a smile when she offers to let him stay at her place. He's suddenly painfully aware of how vulnerable he's made himself right now. He hasn't completely shut down on her. ] I see. Trying to lure me home again? [ He looks up at her and tilts his head. Distance through snarky humor. ]

[ Kate blinks and looks down, realizing that what he's saying about Tuck pretty much explains what she is going through, too. ] Yeah, so does Castle. He thinks it has to do with the shooting, though. [ Of course, it half did and it half didn't considering how long it had taken her memories of Atia to finally return. Kate wasn't convinced she wasn't losing it, anyway. So much of her life there seemed like a dream, even if the reality of it was sitting right in front of her.

His comment made her shake her head and crack a smile, though, because he's not that far off. She's lonely and desperate, reaching out to cling to anything that might make her world make sense again. And he just came waltzing back into her life, as if he is just for her. Someone who understands her, who gets her. Someone who will just let her be who she needs to be until she can fight through all this fog that seems to have settled in her head. ]

You can sleep on the couch. Besides, I'm pretty sure the last time, you were the one that did the luring.
