Kate pressed her lips together, staring down into her glass. It was a nice thing to hear about Rick, actually, knowing that he had made bonds with other people, made friends. He was a good friend, that was for sure. He had always been for her, even if it had taken her four years to understand that it was far more than just that.

"Rick... He was here for a while before I showed up, wasn't he?" She turned her head slightly, looking at Meg and trying to keep her expression neutral. "Is that... All you two have ever been? Friends, I mean." She managed not to make it sound accusatory. She knew how things were and really, with her absence, she wouldn't have been angry if he and Meg had ever been more than that. She would have understood, but that didn't mean she wasn't curious.
