Upper West Side Story
After letting Neal and a curiously different-looking Evan off a block from Wood's apartment Peter and Diana just sat in the parked car for a time. Finally Diana glanced sideways.
"You all right, boss?" she asked quietly.
Peter sighed, knowing she was not talking about the current case. "Yeah."
"You … and Neal doing all right?"
He looked out the window.
"Neal," he finally answered heavily, "is sorry that Elizabeth was put in danger because of him."
Diana glanced away as she thought about this and his obvious frustration of it then looked back at him.
"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it?" she ventured at last.
Peter drew a deep breath and threw her a meaningful glance.
"He is sorry Elizabeth was endangered. Not for keeping the art."
"Oooh." Diana pursed her lips in understanding as she drew the sound out, making it the vocal equivalent of ow.
"Yeah." Peter sighed then checked the time. "Right, that's enough of a head start for them, let's be punctual for our dinner appointment. Danielle."
