Oh, very, very nice.

Beautiful, beautiful introspective. You perfectly reconnected all the pieces of the puzzle from S1 to the present. Wonderful.

If all this Castle stuff comes up, well keep 'em coming! :D

Nat:

What a great job you did with this! I really liked the perspective that you took on this and the background that you presented to set the scene.

My favorite:

"Even more importantly, he always knows what to say. He knows when to use humor, when to let her win, when to push her buttons, and when to be gentle. Part of her knows spinning words is his job, that making her believe his tale and sentiments is what he makes a living off of, but there is always an added sincerity with the look in his eyes, the subtle lines of concern etched on his face."

Great job!
