Elizabeth

El knows. She knows that she is a smart woman; Peter always tells her so. She knows how to run her own business. She knows a lot of things. Planning events is one of the things she knows how to do best. This is not about her business, though. This is about her husband Peter Burke.

Elizabeth knew that Peter was the one for her since the first time he took her out. She knew that Peter was kind, loyal, and loving. She donated flirting and it made her laugh every time he tried to do it. When Peter proposed to her, she knew she would say yes. Elizabeth knew that Peter left his job as an FB I agent. She knew she would never ask him to quit.

Then came Neal Caffrey. He was a thief, forger and con man. Elizabeth knew that Peter would catch him. He always caught the bad guy when he devoted himself to a case. She was not angry when Peter worked long hours because she knew he had to. When Peter finally caught Neal, Elizabeth knew that he would miss the challenge. She knew that Peter was restless while Neal was in prison for four years. Elizabeth knew that Peter thought that Neil was the best he had ever chased and caught. We Neil escaped from prison at the end of his sentence, Elizabeth knew that Peter would catch him again.

What Elizabeth did not know was how much Neal Caffrey would change everything. Elizabeth found herself being included in some of Peter's investigations. She was even a participant in several of them. The first time that Neal came to her home, Elizabeth knew that somehow she had found a friend in him. She knew that Neal could bring out a side of her husband that previously only she had been able to. She did not know when Peter had stopped calling Neal by his last name.

Elizabeth did know that Peter and Neal were closer than they appeared to be. She knew that Peter gave me a lot more leeway than he should. She knew that Peter was scared out of his mind when Neal pulled one of his crazy stunts on a case. Somehow she knew that, after a while, Neal did not care about finding Kate. She knew that they told each other things they would never said anyone else; not even to her or Mozzie. She heard the worry in Peter's voice when Neal was in trouble. She saw the looks they gave each other when they thought no one was looking. She saw the touches that lingered just a little too long. Elizabeth knew that they were in love. She also knew that she did not care.
