She's here and she totally didn't take Derek's suggestion seriously that she bring something other than some cookies that she bought from the store because she knows better. And she knows he knows better. Kate is good at a lot of things, but definitely not cooking or baking or anything to do with food besides eating it.

It's really nice. It doesn't make her miss her family any less, which is pretty much her permanent state of being on days like today, but it's still really nice and she's glad to be here. She's glad Derek invited her and if she's planning on meddling a little, trying to figure out what's going on with him and this Eric guy, then that's totally her own business.
