After Juliet disappeared, they agreed. One note from him in the morning. One note from her in the evening. Never more than 12 hours without written contact.

Kate wishes her cell worked. Texts are fast and easy. Worried? No waiting. It's probably good it doesn't though. Booty calls are fast and easy, too.

Today, when she checks, there's a flower in her box with a note that says, Thought about you, love. Thought you might like this. She rolls her eyes, but there's a soft flip in her gut and she accessorizes the flower all day.

Later, she leaves him a note that reads:

Told Ravi, I'm not a flower...

on the side she leaves face up, but on the back side it finishes:

But it's nice to get them once in awhile.

She seals it with a perfect lip print in the last of the lip gloss she has from home.

Declan's note says he misses waking up with her. She misses it too, but they made a deal. One she's not feeling good about keeping right now.

Dreamed about you in a suit bending me in a little black dress over a bathroom counter. Hot, yeah. Streamline the check-in? Probably not.

It's totally not fair what thinking about him looking at her like that does to her. She ends up taking an extra long shower and some quality time with her fingers, but there's no backing down.

Dirty pool, babe. Serve you right if I show up in a dress. Say I'm going to. What's on your wishlist?

Short and black, she can do. The note includes magazine photos pasted to the paper:

LBD comes in a lot of flavors, babe. Which is yours? Faith Lehane or Selina Kyle?

Declan prefers Faith and Kate's glad. She can do Selina, but Catwoman's more her speed. And a rogue Slayer, that's right up her alley.

Might take awhile. Box isn't that cooperative.

She chews on her bottom lip and twists her hair back deciding whether to add this part or not. Finally, she does. It's honest.

Thinking about you. A lot.

Kate's not sure how to answer that question. Most of the things she's thinking she's not ready to tell him yet. Especially not right now.

That if you disappear, I'll lose my damned mind.

She promised Declan she'd spend his birthday with him and not to plan anything. He's been asking why, but she won't tell. The night before, she leaves him a note - both in his mailbox and on his hut door - that reads:

My place, sunset tomorrow. Let yourself in.

On the afternoon of February 14th, Kate places a folded up piece of paper from one of Daniel's journals in Declan's box. It reads:

Declan,

I'm not very good at this. I know I'm not, and that I'm impossible to be with. I know I'm a shitty girlfriend when it comes to all the little stuff that couples do, and I'm sorry. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I love you hard enough to make up for it.

I wasn't expecting this. Us. You. You falling in love with me just sort of blew me away. No one ever has before and that's...I don't even know how to tell you what that does to me. I don't even know how to tell you that for the first time ever, it's okay for me to be in love, because I believe you when you say you're not leaving me.

I guess I kind of did just say it, but I mean in words, to your face. Maybe it'll mean more because you can keep this for the days when I'm making you want to punch walls. This is probably the worst love letter in the history of love letters but I hope it gets the point across:

I'm yours. For as long as you love me, for as long as you can put up with me, I'm just plain yours.

Katie
