Kate's Reward

As expected Beckett won the sparring match with Castle. Her reward her on solo shopping trip which was completely on Castle. There was some instances where being married to world famous – ish millionaire mystery writer definitely had its benefits. This was definitely one of those moments.

Beckett stopped by Barney's New York where she dropped $7,770 on boots from designers such as Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik and a few other well-known designers. That was only the start of it. Beckett made her way to Tiffany & Co.; where she dropped about $11,725 on three necklaces. Each necklace had the gemstone of her four kids.

Then there was the $1,689 that Beckett spent on four swimsuits for the upcoming summer at Saks Fifth Avenue.

By the time Beckett was done she had spent $21,184 between the three stores she had gone to.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" Castle asked when Beckett returned home.

"You can say that I did."

Castle saw the bags from Barney's New York, Saks Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co.

"Dare I ask how much?"

"Does it matter? You are a millionaire and world famous – ish."

With that Beckett handed Castle his credit card.

"I guess not."

Beckett could tell that Castle still wanted to know.

"$21, 184."

Castle was stunned.

"A woman after my own heart." Martha commented.

"What did you get?" Alexis asked.

"Take a look."

All three women could tell that Castle wanted to comment on the amount of money that Beckett had just spent.

But with one look from Martha; Castle decided otherwise. Martha smiled after she saw that her son took her advice.

"I'd like to see what you got."

"I'll show you some of it now and the other stuff later."

Beckett showed Castle the boots she had gotten.

"I will never understand how you are able to walk in those things."

"That's one thing you'll be wondering; babe."

Later on when it was just the two of them in their bedroom; Beckett modeled the swim suits she had gotten for herself earlier in the day.

"So what do you think? Was the $21,184 worth it?

"Without a doubt." Castle said as they shared a kiss.

Beckett changed out of the swim suit she was in and into pajamas. In a few months she'd be wearing the swim suits in the Hamptons.
