  Kate Beckett : [angry]  Romantically involved?

  Richard Castle : *Rumored* to be.

  Kate Beckett : What did you tell them?

  Richard Castle : The squatter fixed your sink?

  Michele Langford : Yeah. And there was this bottle of, um... like, weird strawberry champagne in the fridge. And I just assumed that one of my friends had left it during a dinner party I had before I left. But... none of my friends would have bought such a...

  Richard Castle : Cheap bottle of booze.

  Michele Langford : Exactly.

  Richard Castle : So, he makes repairs, leaves hostess gifts. He's the Gentleman Squatter.
