"Can I open my eyes yet?"
"Wait." Beckett hears Castle closing a door behind them, then guides her another few feet. Stardust is playing softly in the background.
"Okay, now."
Beckett opens her eyes to see an elegant, dimly lit ballroom, empty except for them. Deep blue walls stretch up to blackness. "What's the surprise?"
"Look up."
Beckett looks above her head to see the distant ceiling covered in glittering stars. "Are those constellations?"
Castle points, smiling, drawing her closer so she can sight along his arm. “Orion. And there, Taurus.”
“Castle, this is beautiful.”
“Welcome to the Starlight Room.”
