She regretted turning back to see his pathetic figure struggling to close the distance between them. Not only did she regret seeing the sorry sight of him on his hands and knees, but she mostly regretted not seeing the wall move by its own volition.
"Oh my God! I tolly won!" Castle managed to yell between gasps for air and resounding whoops of laughter.
Maybe she wasn't as good as she thought.
"You walked into a wall, Beckett! Like... BAM!" He continued with the gasping and whooping, replaying the moment with his wildly gesturing arms.
She should have been more embarrassed, but judging by the manner in which he was rolling around on the floor, she was confident he would have no recollection of the mishap come morning. Though her cheeks still flamed red, she couldn't help but be amused at his antics.
But it still didn't change the way she had felt when she'd felt his hand on her leg, so she pulled her jacket around her tighter, dropped her smile, and turned back toward the door, expertly avoiding the moving wall.
Halfway through! Thanks for all of the alerts and reviews. :)
