“If you think about it, this is good news,” Beckett shivers.
“Freezing to death is good news?” Castle’s unsuccessfully trying to pry the freezer door open.
“We must be on the right track if someone’s trying to kill us for investigating a thirty-year-old murder.” She chatters, stomping her feet.
Castle gives up on the door and starts unbuttoning his overcoat. “You take this …”
“Castle, I can’t.”
“Take it. At least I can die a gentleman.”
“We’ll share.”
Castle gathers the freezing detective in his arms as she burrows under the heavy overcoat. “This is better than dying a gentleman.”
