Richard Castle

[thebestseller]

[Your view is dark, except for the shimmering lights of a swimming pool and the flashing lights of ambulances and cop cars behind you. There's indistinct talking behind you, but you're hearing none of it, sitting on a bench near the pool and staring off into space, your hands clasped in front of you.

Then, you hear footsteps, and you see a woman- beautiful, tall, shoulder-length brown hair- approaching. She sits next to you, offers you the coffee cup she's holding, and you accept it.]

"Here you go. "Thanks."

[You and the woman fall silent, looking out over the pool again.]

"...Tell me something, Castle. Why did he let you live?"

[A pause as you look over at her, your voice becoming thicker with emotion as you speak.]

"As punishment. Make me pay for ruining his plan. Now he's gonna kill again all because I couldn't stop him. ... I feel so..."

[You can't speak more, but the woman understands, looks over at you and puts a hand on your knee, her expression sympathetic.]

"I know the feeling." "I know you do."

[You reach out, cover her hand with your own, and the two of you resume staring out over the water, and the memory fades.]
