Kate rolled over in her bed, hitting her alarm as she begged silently for it to shut up. The last few weeks had been tough, barely a month has passed since the earthquake.  She was currently battling a case of insomnia.

She hadn't heard much from her ex, not after she warned him off and she hoped it would stay that way.

So far this weeks, she's helped saved a man that was lodged in between two buildings. Nothing too eventful to start her week

Kate rose from her bed, wishing she could lay under the covers for just a few minutes longer. She walked over to her closet and grabbed something simple to wear, she dropped it on her bed and walked out of her room.

A loud knock on the door took her attention, she walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole, to her surprise Buck stood outside with coffee.

Kate pulled open the door, Buck stood with a smile on his face "morning" he greeted happily

"You're too perky for this hour" She said, stepping aside to Welcome him in.

"There is nothing better then a fresh coffee and a pastry" he said, placing the items on her counter

"Make yourself at home, I have to get ready"

Kate walked away, leaving Buck to fend in her apartment.

She went about her daily morning routine, it consisted of brushing her teeth, doing something with her hair and getting dressed. If she felt it was needed, she's a put on some makeup

She walked back out to the kitchen 20 minutes later, she couldn't help but smile when she seen Buck playing with milo

"You sleep okay?" He asked

"Meh" she shrugged,

"you haven't been sleeping it's kinda obvious"

"It's just insomnia, it will pass" she dismissed.

"Have you had it before?"

Kate sat down, she played with the cup in her hand "it comes with depression."

"Oh.. are you okay?

"I'm.. I'm just adjusting to new things and they can trigger things - like insomnia, but don't worry I'm perfectly okay"

Kate sipped her tea ""so what about you? Any thing from Abby"

"Nope" he said, emphasizing the P "but Maddie wants to move out and I think I should too, except I can't find anywhere"

"Move in here" she suggested

His mouth gaped open, "uh"

She gave a short laugh "I have a spare room, it was impossible to find a Single room apartment so I took this one. I was about to start renting out the room but if you need a place" she offered
