Really makes it different to hear her thoughts before she found him! And your version is so much tastier than it was in the episode!

Nice one! I just rewatched the episode, so now seemed like a good time to read your fic and, as always, you didn't disappoint me ;)

i loved this scene better!
congratulations ! :)

Why weren't you on the writing staff for season 4! This is exactly how that bank scene should have taken place. good job

Ugh! *melts in a puddle of goo* How delicious this was! I just recently (finally!) was able to see this episode. And I could've strangled Martha! Grrr! Jeez! For a woman who knows her son is in love with their rescuer, you'd think she'd be a bit more patient getting out of her restraints...for her son's happiness!
Thank you so much for this alternate version o what should have happened! Brilliant! xoxo

I SO WISHED THAT WOULDVE HAPPENED! Amazing one shot!

Fantastic story! :D LOVE it!:D

OMG! This is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! And beautifully written, as well.

Beautiful. Absolutely captures what should have happened. Perfect characterization.

Andrew dear, would this have been so hard to write into the script... really?

Excellent story, so beautiful and really what I think she would have done if not for Mrs. Rodger's untimely impatience!

Well done :D

I love this! Aw, I really do! This would've been absolutely perfect in the ep!

Sorry it’s taken me so long to read this. (I am literally so far behind that I have a folder in my e-mail of 62 chapter updates to catch up on!)

Smoke in her eyes; a taste of ashes fills her mouth. Somewhere inside, part of her is praying, please, please, please, a desperate chant that doesn't pass the barrier of her throat. – Love this.

Was the freezer better? Or the dirty bomb? Yes, she wants to answer, yes, because they were together then, because at least there was this sense of belonging, this sense of peace, however mistaken. – Adore!

She thinks of Alexis outside; something breaks in her chest. – Awesome.

"Castle!" She yells, unable to help herself, her voice raw and painful, like her heart's spilling out of her mouth. – Amazing!

"Castle!" She calls again, and she doesn't care if everybody can hear it in her voice, the panic and desperation and supplication – Love this.

Castle, Castle, her heart sings. – Beautiful!

Without her realizing it, her thumb has moved from his shirt to his neck, is now caressing his jugular vein, revering the steady pulse of blood under her fingertip. – Awesome.

Kate is the one to break it, but she finds that she can't move away; she rests her forehead against his cheek, hides her face in the crook of his neck, her hands fisting on his shirt. – Love!

Awesome job! I wish this happened! LOL.

I completely agree with you with regards to Martha. I swear that woman couldn't time her interruption a little better. Ugh! I was just as frustrated watching that episode. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for making my shipper heart soo happy. I only wish I was able to see this version on tv. Oh well. Thanks again.
