[ "about last night ... " ]Kate wakes early -- too early, judging by the near-darkness of the bedroom.
After a few minutes, when it's annoyingly apparent she won't be drifting back to sleep, she presses a soft kiss to Bill's cheek and murmurs near his ear when he stirs.
Easing out of bed, she pulls on a pair of sweats and tugs on a couple of layers; she wants to keep warm during her jog.
After checking to make sure Boo's still sleeping soundly across the hall, she slips downstairs to make fresh coffee for Beckett and Bill before her morning run.

[ these stakes have a high alcohol content ]She's lost count of how much wine they've put away among the three of them.
By the time they call it a night, she's also lost count of how many hands of Texas hold 'em have slipped through their fingers, wallets, and wardrobes.
Kate's laughing as they stagger-stumble upstairs in a tangle of arms and torsos and underwear.
(At this point, she's fairly certain Bill and Beckett are mostly carrying her between them.)
They clear the stairs and her ankle rolls -- how, she's not quite sure -- but she's taking Beckett and Bill with her with a warm tumble, the ceiling's spinning, and she can't stop laughing.
"God, guys, I'm sorry -- sorry -- "
Her fingers brush Bill's stomach, and her free hand grazes Beckett's ribs as she twists to peer at them.
"Everybody okay?"

With Boo spending the night with a playmate nearby and Demeter away, the remaining grown-ups have the evening and the house to themselves.
Which means, after a long, unhurried dinner and plenty of conversation, Kate, Beckett and Bill find themselves working their way through more than a couple of bottles of wine from Demeter's impressive cellar.
And Bill's shuffling a deck of playing cards.
The stakes have yet to be determined.

[[ london, cruella de vil's penthouse ]]
[ "opening the door will not get your child back, darlings." ]Boo's not here.
They're combing the filthy penthouse -- checking closets, cupboards, the bathtub, even behind the dust-caked velvet curtains -- and she's not here.
