Isobel stood and looked all around, people dressed in tuxedos and marvellous gowns surrounded her and there was not one person who she could actually talk to. Although Isobel knew many of the people present at this black tie event, none of them were people that she actually cared about or talked to frequently. People gawked at her and those who approached her wanted to bombard her with questions about how she was coping running Parry Industries and how she and the rest of her family were coping with her father's death and her recent health scare. It made her wonder why she had even came.

"You look how I feel." A voice said and Isobel looked to see Mike Ross approaching her with a glass of champagne in his hand. She had become very fond of Mike as he was very likeable and sweet not to mention honest and caring. Rare in a corporate lawyer. "And I don't mean how absolutely stunning you look tonight Isobel."

"What about you Mike? I have to admit that you're looking very handsome tonight in you tux."

"I still can't believe that you brought this for me Isobel, I dread to think how much you spent on this tux but I know it was way too much."

"They say money can't buy you happiness Mike but I tend not to believe that, because if using my money can make other people happy then I'm happy especially if it's the people I love and care about. And Lydia was with me when I brought this dress and when she found she found out that you'd be here tonight she said I had to get you a nice penguin suit. Besides my mother used to say your not a real man until you own a good tuxedo and every time you wear this you'll always think of me. So that makes me happy, so ill hear no more arguments on the subject."

"Okay then." Mike said in agreement.

"Glad we've agreed… your bowtie is a little off, do you mind if I redo it?" Isobel asked.

"Go right ahead."

Isobel smiled as she took a step closer to Mike before proceeding to undo his bow tie before slowly starting to redo it again. "I've missed doing this, I used to do it for Harvey every morning before he left for work or he went out to an event, it was our little routine. He's perfectly capable of tying a tie himself but I liked doing it before sending him off to work, it made me feel… oh I don't know! Important I guess. So whenever he needed one tied he'd come find me and I'd stop what I was doing and to tie his tie."

"Sounds nice."

"It was, I was so good at tying ties and bow ties, that I don't even look when I do them instead I would look Harvey in the eye and once I was done I would give him a kiss… all done!" Isobel said before pulling her head back to admire her handwork and proceeding to give Mike a kiss on the cheek. "Although the kiss was in a different place entirely."

"So you and Harvey, huh? I heard the two of you were quite serious back in the day and the two of you have spent some time together recently. Are the two of you back together then? If you don't mind me asking." Mike questioned.

"I don't mind in the slightest Mike and to answer your question there's nothing going on between the two of us, we're just Harvey Specter and Isobel Parry nothing more and nothing less. I don't even think we're friends, we weren't when we met or when things ended…"

"But you're still in love with him."

Isobel raised an eyebrow in surprise, Mike was quick she had to give him that it was rather impressive and although she didn't like talking about her feelings for Harvey with anyone she'd allow herself to admit it out loud for the first time and to Mike. "Irrevocably although he unfortunately doesn't feel the same way."

"You so sure about that? The way he looks at you tends to suggest otherwise…" Mike asked.

"Very sure. Unfortunately I used to be very good at reading Harvey and even after five years I can still do it, I did something unforgiveable that can never be forgiven and Harvey moved on with his life. " Isobel replied with a quiet laugh.

"Speaking of Harvey, heads up he's on his way over."

Isobel looked up in time to see Harvey walk over to herself and Mike with two champagne flutes in his hand and he proceeded to hand one over to Isobel. "And what are you doing here? I was under the assumption that you were taking a week off work under your doctors orders. I'm pretty sure I remember Savannah saying the words fun and relax and I don't think a black tie event is what your sister meant."

"I figured that I could attend this fundraiser as it does have the word fun in it although having people sucking up to me all night for information is taking all and any possible fun out of it even after I made a donation of two million dollars." Isobel noted with a small smirk. "How's my phone?"

"Ringing constantly."

"Feel like handing it back over?"

"Not a chance, your phone belongs to me for another two days Parry and whilst we're on the subject matter, have you not noticed that Parry Industries has not fallen apart with it's big CEO taking some time off?"

Isobel took a sip of her champagne and noted that Mike chose that moment to slip away. "I may have… You look very debonair tonight, I forget how well you look in a tuxedo Harvey which surprises me considering how well you wear suits."

"You look sensation, without a doubt the most beautiful woman here." Harvey replied and Isobel had to look away to make sure that he didn't see her blush and thankfully he didn't as Elias Montgomery, the media mogul chose that precise moment to come over and speak to Harvey allowing Isobel to quietly sneak out from the busy room and escape onto the rooftop terrace.

Isobel walked to the edge of the terrace and looked out the Manhattan skyline and took a deep breath. It was nice and peaceful here, it gave her a chance to breathe and clear her head. Although she wouldn't admit this but Harvey and Savannah were right, she needed to take a break from everything and it was rather nice not to be the one in charge, running everything and just be Isobel. Looking at the few Isobel became so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize how much time had passed or that she was no longer alone until she felt a familiar touch on the small of her back and turning her head to the left Isobel's lips curved into a smile. "Hello."

"Hello."

"What are you doing out here Harvey? Shouldn't you be inside trying to schmooze somebody of importance?" Isobel questioned.

"I like seeing you is that a crime?" Harvey replied.

"You're the lawyer, you tell me." Isobel quipped turning completely in order to face Harvey properly. She wouldn't deny that she missed him especially at times like these, at parties Isobel always felt small and insignificant but Harvey always made her feel wanted, appreciated and somehow he made all her doubts and fears go away and make her feel less uncomfortable and more comfortable.

"Your cold Iz, your body is shivering." Harvey noted sliding out of his jacket but taking Isobel's phone out of the inside pocket before placing it over her shoulders and once he had his hand moved to Isobel's cheek and as he caressed it Harvey took a step closer to Isobel.

"When you do things like that it makes it more harder for me to try and walk away from this." Isobel quietly admitted. "Because us being here together gets my hopes up and then I worry you'll never forgive me for what I did. That's when I think what I did will remind you of your mother and what she did."

"You didn't cheat on me Isobel."

"But I left you Harvey, I walked away and to me that is almost as bad." Isobel wearily said.

"Yeah you walked away but you did it because you were trying to protect me and whilst I was angry about not having an explanation I understand why you did it Isobel. You did what you thought you had to do and I get that. I'll admit that I was angry with you walking out even after all these years but I stopped being angry with you the moment I found out that your hand was forced; that you walked away from us because you wanted to protect my career. You should have come to me and we could have figured it out together but I understand your intentions. And most importantly you are not my mother and don't walk away this time." Harvey challenged as his hand wondered down from Isobel's cheek and he gently touched the bottom of her lip but Harvey's eyes had yet to leave Isobel's. "Stay."

"Don't do this if it's because my father is dead and you feel sorry for me, tell me that this isn't about him but rather about us…" Isobel said, her voice crackling with emotion and she could feel her eyes glistening as her eyes began to water.

"You go slow, be gentle. It's no one-way street...you know how you feel and that's all. It's how the girl feels too. Don't press. If the girl feels anything for you at all, you'll know…"

"Are you seriously quoting Star Trek to me Harvey Spector? You could say anything, come up with anything but you go with Star Trek?" Isobel questioned and the smile on her face could no be contained as she quietly laughed. "Let me guess, Captain James T. Kirk?"

"Hey! Captain Kirk is the man." Harvey proudly stated.

"So you frequently told me but at least it isn't Top Gun." Isobel drily stated.

"I can do Top Gun if you like." Harvey offered.

"No thank you."

"This isn't about your dad or me feeling sorry for you Isobel, yes you've gone through a lot recently but I'm here because I want you to stay, I don't want you to leave again. I want you." Harvey admitted and Isobel couldn't help but start crying a mixture of happy and sad tears, Harvey smiled as he wiped away Isobel's tears and they looked at each other once again and then it happen. The kiss that would change everything, their last first kiss.
