Title: Retreat
Word Count: 100
Prompt: Recovery - for castle100
Spoilers: Rise (4x01)
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Beckett, Castle/Beckett UST
Summary: A glimpse of Beckett's summer (that's as non-spoilery as I can make it)
Kate kept as busy as possible. She eagerly did her physical therapy exercises, pushing herself harder each day as her strength returned. She read on the cabin's shaded deck, but not mysteries.
Not now.
She cooked for her dad, though she had little appetite herself. She answered his tentative approaches at conversation as normally as she could, until she heard his guarded tone fading away.
She never answered the phone.
At night, though, the memories she so diligently kept at bay came flooding back. Alone in the dark, she heard the echoes of Castle's desperate confession.
I love you, Kate.
