Sixteenth Draft [Voice] Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way

[cuffmeonce]

[Locked away from Alexis & Blue]

My baby girl is growing up. I knew this. I mean I know this. This is not news to me however this news does not usually smack me in the face quite so violently.

There's a boy reading her poetry. I was a boy who read poetry. I know what boys who read poetry to girls want.

The temptation to have Kate shoot him is--I'd go to jail. I wouldn't mind. Alexis could visit me on Sundays and holidays.

Isn't this place supposed to keep people from getting older? Sure when it comes to zombie sheep, lust curses and truth curses they're on top of things but when it comes to keeping my baby girl a baby girl there is an obvious failure to comply.

Now I'm going to go be ridiculous somewhere else. Maybe take my frustration out on a fictional serial killer who preys on other people's baby girls.

She chuckles a little and then moves over to his booth to push a fresh sheet into the holder and presses the button to watch it wheel away back toward the wall.

"Just picture his face, Castle. That way when you meet him, you won't actually want to hurt him and I won't have to arrest you."

"Or maybe it'll work the opposite. This will fuel the fire," Castle grins at her but he reloads and sights up the target. This time his shots all hit except for the first and it's just a little to the right.
