Who. Kate and Finn
When. Saturday afternoon
Where. Millennium Park
What. It's the NBC Chicago family BBQ and Kate is mingling, enjoying the beautiful afternoon.
Rating. Low, PGish
Kate strolled across the grass, sipping a lemonade that she was wishing was spiked. Her first instinct was to grab a beer, but judging from how hot it was, the beer would just give her a headache. However, with all the kids running around screaming, a buzz would have been nice, too, she thought. All in all, it was turning out to be a good afternoon. There was good food, good company, and people seemed to be having a good time. She was wearing her ridiculous "Team NBC Chicago" t-shirt like a good employee but Human Resources really needed to get over themselves and come up with something new. Kate knew that because she was on-air that she would be recognized, but the t-shirt made her a walking target for bad traffic jokes and people asking where she comes up with her witty Tweets. Kate didn't have the heart to tell people that she really did think drivers were generally stupid.
She headed across the grass, moving towards where she could smell food being cooked. She pulled her phone out, grinning when she saw she had a text from Brendan. Seeing as he had to work - lucky bastard, she thought - they'd been texting back and forth about the events of their days. She sank down onto the grass, setting her cup down before she started to text him back. Kate was now telling him about her t-shirt making her a target when someone walked close enough to cast a shadow over her phone and she lifted her head to see who it was.
