A Lesson in Leaving

by Castlefan6

Authors Note: Gina Cowell Castle Cowell played a huge role in the lives of Caskett, but who is she, what do we know about her, was she really wicked, or just not on the same page with Rick for marriage? We'll add our take on a character that was central to our couple. TOTALLY AU. NOTE: AU not canon If you don't know the difference, then don't comment about what I left out of the story you saw on TV.

I don't own Castle, I use the characters for amusement purposes only

Chapter PROLOGUE

I have often wondered about many characters that appeared on Castle with little if any back story. I think we could have appreciated some of them, Bracken, Gina, Paula, Meredith, and who better than Gina Cowell. I chose to do an AU story of what her life was before meeting Rick, becoming Mrs. Castle, then how she handled the split, what really happened in the marriage, how they could continue to work together? This is completely out of my wheel house and comfort zone, so I thought I would end the year on a challenge. If it Sucks, Blame Dreamwriter08, Cece, and Pen 2 Paper who suggested it last night and started me thinking, they were right. I hope some of you enjoy it, it will not be a normal writing genre for me.
