"You know what all of that tells me?" Kate asked, though it was a hypothetical question and one that she was going to answer for her even if Marian didn't want to hear it. "That you're a damn good person, Hawke. A lot of people would just be angry that they had been lied to and leave without bothering to help, but you didn't. And that's impressive."
A soft spot for pathetic creatures? She had to grin at that, hiding most of her smile behind the glass that Kate again took a sip from. "We weren't quite that adventurous," she replied. "Not in the beginning. The first time I met Castle, he was a suspect in a murder investigation and once I cleared him of any involvement he wanted to hang around and help us solve the case. That turned into his using friendship with the mayor to follow me around while he "researched" a character for a book he was writing." Kate rolled her eyes, barely able to contain her smile. "And I hated him for a long time. But he kept coming back, no matter what I said or did, he never left me alone."
And from the soft, loving tone in her voice, she was thankful that he hadn't. Richard Castle's persistence was a large part of why they had eventually gotten together.
