Rating: PG
Character(s): Kate Beckett and Richard Castle
Summary: Beckett's thoughts during the last scene of Deep In Death.
Author's Note: I couldn't help it! However, I did resist the urge to turn it into fluff, aren't you guys proud?
"And if we're not going to see each other again, then you deserve to know... that I am very, very sorry."
Beckett wanted to stay mad. She searched for that anger that she'd been holding onto since she'd told Castle to get out of her life. Why did she feel like she couldn't watch him walk away again?
"I am very, very sorry."
Was that enough? Could she let it be?
"Well, not everything was a lie. Not her husband's love. I mean sometimes we do the wrong thing for the right reason."
No, she couldn't think about that part tonight. She didn't want to think about any of it tonight, but...
"I'm sorry."
"Castle," she called after him. Which was worse? Giving him the chance to hurt her again... or watching him leave? "I'll see you tomorrow."
She didn't know if she could look any further than that, or even completely forgive him, but... she would see him tomorrow.
