You know, when you called last night about the venue... I was with Matilda. She wanted me to model a dress... And... it was a wedding dress... And when I saw myself in it, I just, I started to think about my mom. She would have loved to have been part of all of this. To help pick out the flowers, and try on the dresses, and... When I looked at myself in the mirror, I just, I-I halfway expected to see her right behind me. And she wasn't there. And just for a moment, I thought to myself, "I don't know if I can do all this without her." And that's why I said no when you asked about the venue... I'm so sorry. It was *so* stupid...Richard Castle: No... No, not stupid. Human.Kate Beckett: Do you know what else I wish she could experience?... You.Richard Castle: Really?Kate Beckett: Yeah. She would've *loved* you.Richard Castle: You know, Kate... if you need more time...Kate Beckett: No. No, I don't- I don't need any more time. I don't even want us to wait until the fall. I think we can find a new venue in the spring.Richard Castle: You think we can pull it off?Kate Beckett: Yeah... I mean, I already have the dress.
