"What… was it that bad? Did she go on about camel tracks and yacht races? Did you have a fight with the goddess?"
"No. Worse. Carly was boring."
"Boring?"
"So… your fabulous friend…"
"Is not so fabulous anymore."
"Ah."
"I mean, that's not going to happen to us, is it? You've done this before. Marriage isn't going to change us, right? We're not going to become one of those couples that go to the same two restaurants and only have sex on national holidays?"
"No, I'm serious. 'cause that place that you were at tonight, it was filled with married men that are bored with their wives. I don't ever want to be bored with you and I don't want you to be bored with me, either."
"Okay. Well then, let's … um … let's put it into our vows. A promise to each other that even though we're married it doesn't mean there is no more romance. And we will never, ever, be boring. Deal?"
"Okay, deal."
To keep the boring out of their marriage; Castle and Beckett were taking a well deserved trip down to the tropics for some "R&R". It wasn't easy being the parents of five; albeit child #1 was all grown up, happily married and living in her own townhouse with her husband. Either way; Castle and Beckett needed a time out.
So Castle chartered a private jet for them and they flew down to the tropics. Once they landed; the duo went to the house that Castle had won from one his poker buddies in one of the games. A few minutes later the duo was down at the beach.
Beckett had just gone into to the ocean for a quick dip. Castle stay behind with their stuff on the beach.
When Beckett walked out of the water; all dripping wet from head to toe, Castle's mind went into a complete and utter frenzy.
Castle jumped mentally to the time when he was staring at her butt while they were undercover at a night club and she had gone to the dance floor to turn the suspect's head. It then jumped to when she was coming out of the pool at the hotel they had stayed at when they were in L.A. when they were trying to catch Royce's killer.
Beckett on the other hand had a different scene play out in her mind.
"Darling, we have a visitor."
"Oh, pretty butch, Castle."
"I know, right? Come, grab a chair."
"Oh, no. I just came to return your mom's jewel…"
"You saved my life. The least I can do is make you some eggs."
"No, really, I… I have to get going…"
"Nonsense. You sit down right here. Tell us all about last night. We've only heard his version."
"Alright. Um… Shall I begin at the red carpet?"
"Yes, please."
"So, we came in…"
The memory of her first family breakfast with Castle, Alexis and Martha all those years ago was pure happiness in Beckett's mind as she rejoined her husband.
