"But I have never been to a gala before," Jane's voice cut through the murmurs of her team as they discussed the upcoming FBI gala that night.

"You'll be great," Kurt said smiling at her, "It's nothing to worry about. I'll be by you the whole time." She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss.

"Then I'll be just fine." The two had been been dating for a few months, but dating was often defined as grabbing a drink after work or getting take out. And every once in a while they could sneak in a kiss or two.

"Okay everyone, enough loitering, you can talk about all of this in the privacy of your homes. Dismissed," Mayfair declared. Zapata and Reade mad a run for the elevator and Patterson went to shut down her station.

"Ma'am may I have a word with you?" Weller asked.

"Certainly. Right this way," she said leading him back to her office. Kurt turned to look at Jane.

"I'll meet up with you in just a moment. Can you grab my things from my locker and I'll meet you by the elevator?" he asked.

"Sure," Jane said as she went to collect her things. Weller entered Mayfair's office and shut the glass door behind him.

"What's on your mind that you would like to discuss," Mayfair asked.

"As you know Jane and I have been together for a little while now. I think it is time that our relationship went further," Weller explained.

"Weller. I know you two have been together and seeing each other, but I don't need all the details. Just keep it out of the office."

"I don't think that will be possible after this weekend."

"How so?"

"I'm going to ask her to marry me," Kurt stated. He look out the glass to make sure Jane was no where near. He pulled the tiny velvet box out of his back pocket and handed it to Mayfair. "I wanted to let you know." Mayfair, stunned, opened the box to observe the ring. She smiled brightly when she saw it.

"Kurt it is beautiful. Simple yet elegant," Mayfair exclaimed handing the box back. "Thank you for keeping me informed. Is that all?"

"That is it ma'am."

"Okay. I'll see you later tonight." With that Weller left the office and waited by the elevator for Jane. It wasn't long before she showed up with their belongings.

"What was that about?" Jane asked handing Kurt his jacket as they boarded the elevator.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to run something by Mayfair," he said wrapping his arm around her and kissing her head through her hair.

There was a knock on the front door of the safe house. Both Patterson and Jane ran to get it, but Patterson won. She let our a little haha before shooing Jane out of line-of-sight. Patterson looked through the hole in the door then opened it to reveal a very nicely dressed Kurt Weller.

"You clean up nicely," Patterson stated as she let him in.

"Um, thanks. Is Jane ready?" he asked looking around for his girlfriend.

"Do I not look nice?" Patterson asked in protest.

"Huh? Oh, you look lovely," Weller said glancing over at her.

"Yeah yeah, I'll go get her for you," Patterson said walking away a little bitter. She had been ready hours ago, and had volunteered to help Jane get ready and cover her tattoos. A few minutes passed which felt like hours. Eventually Jane came around the corner. Kurt looked at her and his breath was taken away. He had seen her dressed up, and she always looked beautiful, but this... He couldn't stop staring at her. She wore a form-fitting black dress that was solid black from the bodice down, and from there up formed lace sleeves that went to her wrists. Her hair was curly enough to give it some bounce and she had a bright red lipstick on that accentuate every feature even more. She smiled as she met her boyfriend who was still in shock.

"You might want to close your mouth now," she teased into his ear. He smiled and took a step back.

"You look absolutely stunning!"

"Thank you," Patterson and Jane said in unison. They all chuckled.

"Thank you for everything," Jane said looking to her friend.

"No problem. Now you two need to go. I'm sure Reade and Zapata will be here for me shortly," Patterson said as she escorted the two out of the house. Out front was a limo waiting to whisk the two lovers away. Kurt raced ahead to get the door as he helped his lovely girlfriend into the car. Patterson waved bye as the limo pulled away and another car pulled up with Reade and Zapata.

As soon as they had stepped out of the limo, Kurt offered Jane his arm, which she happily took and held on tightly. She was going to make sure that he never left her side. For some odd reason, this gala seemed more daunting than the missions that her tattoos took them on. Once inside they received place cards with their table number. The gala grand room was darkened, but lit up with special effects and strobe lights. It took them a few minutes to locate their dinning table, but it wasn't too hard to miss Reade, Zapata, Patterson, Mayfair, and Borden. They were happy to be assigned a table with their friends. Kurt pulled Jane's chair out and helped her get seated. He turned to go when Jane grabbed his hand.

"Where are you going? What happened to not leaving my side?" she asked quizzically.

"I'm going to go mingle. You'll be fine here. I trust these people... most of the time," he said jokingly before kissing her on the cheek and disappearing into the crowd. It wasn't long before Weller returned and took a seat next to his girlfriend.

"That didn't last long," Jane observed.

"Yeah, I'm not one to mingle as much as I think I am," he explained wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"Uh-huh," Jane mumbled smiling as she gave him a kiss. There was a whistle from on of their friends and Weller just scowled. The table erupted into laughter. The program began shortly after that. About 45 minutes into the program, Kurt leaned over to whisper into Jane's ear.

"How about we leave and go get something decent to eat?"

"Will they notice that we slipped out?"

"Nah. We were here. We made an appearance, and our team can fill in the blanks," he teased. She smiled and took his hand as he led her outside to the valet desk.

"Kurt Weller," he said handing the worker his valet ticket.

"We came in a limo. How are we going to get anywhere?" Jane asked looking to him for answers, but to no avail. All Kurt did was smile as the man returned with his car.

"Your car Mr. Weller," the driver said as he handed the owner the valet key. Kurt opened the passenger door in which Jane climbed. Kurt climbed into the drivers seat, started the car, untied his bow tie, and started driving.
