Summary: The answer to some questions is inevitable. Response to
Castleland's "Squared" challenge, for the prompt ship.
“So are you two married?” Their witness, a cheerful elderly woman, asks Beckett and Castle. It’s not uncommon for the duo to be asked if they’re some variation of “together,” the implications varying from wholesome to obscene, but Mrs. Thackaray’s old-fashioned enough so that “married” is her version of “together.”
“Unfortunately not,” Castle responds with a mischievous glance in Beckett’s direction. He knows that it drives her crazy when he implies (to perfect strangers, no less) that their “togetherness” is inevitable.
Beckett grins roguishly at Castle, giving him something to wonder about as she gives her own answer. “Not yet.”
