Title: just a shade of brown
Author: cloudytea 
Characters: Kate/Ben
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for the entire series.
Summary: She hates the way her name sounds on his tongue. For lost_in_108's prompt Detour.



When he shows up on her doorstep in early March, she wants to tell him he has the wrong house -- but that would be a lie.

Kate. She hates the way her name sounds on his tongue. Between sips of steaming coffee (black, if you don‘t mind) she ponders the irony of the situation -- three years ago, she was a prisoner and he was using caffeine as bribery.

Ben breaks the news like an afterthought. Jack isn’t coming back.

She silences him with a kiss. I know.

Redemption is relative. She can still taste the bitterness on his lips -- and it isn't just the coffee.
