Just to tie it all together properly.
Epilogue
Alexis was at orientation, I'd moved her in yesterday, my mother was at her acting school working with high schoolers, and Kate was at work filing paperwork. This meant that I was moping in my apartment with a blank word document and no inspiration.
Then my phone rang, and I don't think I've ever been so grateful in my life. "Castle," I answered.
"I know you're moping but we've got a body, if you want to join." She asked crisply through the phone the detective voice carrying across.
"Yeah, yeah I definitely want to join."
"Alright meet us at 97th and Lex"
"See you there," I told her, giddy with excitement as I closed the phone glancing at the clock which told me there was still early enough in the morning that a cup of fresh coffee would be appreciated by my coffee fiend.
She was waiting at the barricade when the cab pulled up. "There you are." She smiled happily, "You remember the rules?" She's been listing them off as they came to her all week.
"Yes I remember the rules Kate."
"Beckett." She corrected, "at work it's Beckett, we don't hold hands, or kiss, touch, we don't say 'I love you' randomly…" she rolled her eyes, "and we don't do gooey looks."
I shrugged, handing her the cup of coffee I'd brought, "And I'm saying we still do this."
"Do what?" She looked perplexed
"I bring you your morning coffee and get a kiss hello when it's appropriate," I leaned in and gave her a peck on the cheek.
She rolled her eyes but smiled, "Fine," she took a sip of the coffee, "Ready Castle?"
"Lead on Detective," I smiled back.
She nodded turned on her heel and made her way over the crime scene ducking the tape efficiently, leaving me to follow. "Alright boys what have we got?"
Alright that really is all but keep your eyes peeled you've convinced me to write the steps out.
Thank you again!
