A/N: So this story is going to be written off of the 4x15 (Pandora) promo where at the end you hear "Castle!" and see the car and then the water below them.
Disclaimer: I don't own Castle.. they'd obviously be together by now if I did ;)
Suddenly everything seemed so menial. All the secrets, the lies, all of it. She knew by now that when she went down she had always wanted to be with Castle. But like this? It almost seemed too easy for them to die like this after everything they had been through. It seemed as though they had done every action stunt an actor would want. Tiger? Check. Freezer? Check. Bomb? Well, there was absolutely no way she could forget about that one. But this was one circumstance she definitely had never given though to.
They were going to die… underwater.
A random thought suddenly popped into her head. "I cannot let him die without him knowing just how much I love him back."
Now she knew exactly that urge castle must have felt when she was laying out on the grass that day. You cannot possibly let the person you love leave the world, with you beside them, and not know finally know how you feel.
Suddenly she knew. This wasn't an option. She was going to get her partner home to his family, and she would tell him exactly how she felt. The wall was finally, absolutely gone.
