Kate's smile faded at she watched Meg's face. "I'm sorry," she said honesty, feeling terrible for even having brought it up.

Honestly, she couldn't imagine getting by here without Castle - but worst, she couldn't imagine having him only to lose him and be stuck there alone. It wasn't a thought that had occurred to her as a possibility yet, not until Meg had spoken, and she felt a sick feeling form in her gut as she looked down at her drink.

"I was the one that tended to do the disappearing acts in me and Castle's relationship. I guess even here." She smirked again, hoping to cheer Meg up a little bit.
