They don’t freeze to death.
Because Castle was there, not freezing to death, it becomes a story. The kind of story you tell your grandchildren.
Sometimes it’s a horror story, searching a frozen corpse for a working cell phone or even a lighter, his unseeing eyes watching the whole time.
Or it’s an adventure, with noble heroes coming to the rescue at the last minute.
Because Beckett was there, not freezing to death, it’s also a romance. They huddle together, warming each other with comforting words and fumbling hands, silently yearning for a destiny unfulfilled.
It’s their grandchildren’s favorite story.
