"Again, you know where to find me," he said, grinning, "I might even take up your mark for a good story. It's not exactly ethical, but..."

Yes, he was joking.

"Then again, neither is using your own mother's mental health problems for your own benefit," Kate smirked. Man, was she glad she'd come here today.

"See you next week."
