Kate looked exhausted. She was wearing two scarves and a knitted hat
in addition to her coat and gloves.
Castle raised his eyebrows when he saw her. "What a pleasant surprise,
Detective Beckett," he said.
Kate still had no voice, so she had to whisper, "I have no heat again."
When Castle asked Beckett inside, she did not hesitate. She strode quickly into Castle's warm abode and he followed her, shutting the door.
"Would you like some chicken noodle soup," Castle asked.
Kate nodded and Castle walked into the kitchen. Beckett stood in between the kitchen and living room, happily absorbing the heat. After a minute, she took off her outer layers of clothing and kicked off her shoes. She had on a thick navy sweatshirt and some black yoga pants. She stood, hugging her arms and closed her eyes for a moment, thinking about how Castle was so helpful. He didn't mind taking her in when she needed it.
"There's a blanket on that chair if you want it," Castle said, bringing Kate back from her thoughts. "Or we could just snuggle," he continued with an exaggerated wink.
Beckett rolled her eyes as she grabbed the blanket, wrapping around herself. She watched Castle who was pouring soup into a bowl. Kate decided to curl up on the couch as she waited for Castle. She sniffled.
"Your soup, my lady," Castle announced as he delivered the steaming bowl upon a tray. He set it down on the coffee table in front of Beckett. There was also some bread and a cup of hot tea.
"Thanks, Castle," Beckett mouthed. She sniffled again as she reached for the soup.
"Careful, it's hot!" Rick warned.
Kate waited a minute, swirling the soup around with a spoon.
So... What do you think? What's gonna happen next? Mwahaha...cliffhangers... 3
