Summary: There were candles on the table...


There were candles on the table. That's all Alex Eames needed to see to know this restaurant was more expensive than anything she would ever goto on her own. The over-all tone of the room they were in was romantic, soothing, and she felt herself relaxing for the first time that week. In the background, there was some sort of exotic instrumental music playing. Sure it wasn't quite her thing, but it also wasn't the worst thing she had ever heard. For the time being, she could live with it.

Across from her was her partner, dressed in his usual suit, cleanly shaven and completely calm. She watched as his chocolate brown eyes scanned over the room, lingering on one of the couples sitting over in the far corner, before his eyes met her's.

"That's them." he whispered, and Eames nodded in response.

For once, she wished they weren't tailing a suspect.
