"Ms. Roberts, can you tell me what happened from the beginning?" Agent Burke said in his most professional tone. Rain pattered gently on the window behind him, the city lights making the droplets shine like diamonds. Eleanor took a deep breath as she began to recount the night's events. She sat in his office, shivering, while her parents huddled together in the adjacent conference room awaiting their turn to give their statements. Her head was still throbbing from her collision with the gallery floor. But what made her head really hurt was the intense blue eye stare behind her. She felt like a fool, a child, and that made her head spin with shame. Eleanor had reached the part in the story when she met the so called Dr. Carmichael and felt her heart pick up speed.

"He said he was new at the hospital, but I didn't remember hearing about a new doctor. That's when I knew something was wrong. So I excused myself…I was going to find one of the guards…but before I could leave that-than man grabbed me." Eleanor paused, the feeling of the scary man's hands on her body still fresh in her mind.

"We can take a break if you want." Agent Burke said dropping his earlier tone to sound more like the Peter Burke she had met.

"No, it's fine. I'm fine." Eleanor said firmly gathering the strength to continue. "He grabbed me and took me into the lobby as Dr. Carmichael starting shooting. I think three more men appeared, I can't be sure…the guards came out…I couldn't see what happened; I was trying to get away. Next thing I knew the guards were down and the men were cutting paintings out of their frames. The man who was holding me, he-he kept touching me and whispering in my ear. I tried to get away but h-he was holding me so tight." Eleanor said wrapping her arms around her middle involuntarily. Neal made a strange noise behind her, like a cross between a hiss and a growl. Agent Burke shot him a glance before giving Eleanor an encouraging look. "That's when you showed up and he put a gun to my head." She heard Neal shift behind her and saw Agent Burke's eyes shoot back in his direction.

"Thank you Eleanor," Agent Burke said his eyes still on Neal. "I know how difficult that was for you. If you'll just give me a few minutes, I need to take your parent's statement then you can go." He said getting up.

"Thanks Peter." Eleanor said softly as he walked out a side door into the conference room. As soon as the door shut, she felt warmth envelop her as Neal placed his suit jacket over her. He pulled out the chair next to her and sat down in it so he was facing her dead on. His hands wrapped around hers, his thumb stroking the top side of her hand. It felt so good to feel his touch again. Her eyes met his and a jolt of electricity shot through her body.

"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time. Eleanor let out a small laugh as the stricken look on Neal's face softened a little.

"You go first." She said squeezing his hand.

"I'm so sorry Ellie." Neal said his voice boarder line hysterical. "Last night, I swear nothing happened. She was just over to talk some shop, we had some wine and got caught up in the old days…nothing happened. I would never cheat on you. I love you too much."

"I know." Eleanor said delicately. Neal opened his mouth to defend himself but quickly shut it, confusion spreading across his face.

"You know?"

"Yeah blue eyes." she smiled. "If there is anyone in this room who is guilty of anything it's me. I was the one who jumped to conclusions, not you."

"But-"

"I didn't listen to you when I should have. I was having this really crappy day, everything with my mom and work had gotten to me...I was in a horrible mood and when I walked in on you and that woman…it was just the icing on the cake. I flipped out when I should have listened. I'm sorry."

"Ellie it's not your fault. You acted like any person would have acted in that situation. Only I shouldn't have been in that situation in the first place, I shouldn't have let it get that far."

"So now we're going to blame ourselves?" Eleanor said with a laugh.

"It seems like it." Neal smiled.

"I think it's my fault and you think it's your fault. That's classic, they should make a movie. It would be a really cheesy movie though; I doubt anyone would go see it."

"I'd see it." Neal said moving closer to her.

"Really?" Eleanor asked, surprised.

"Yeah, you wouldn't?"

"Well it depends; the lead would have to be extremely handsome."

"There are plenty of good looking people in Hollywood."

"He'd have to have amazing blue eyes."

"Well now that's narrowing the field." Neal said just inches away from her lips.

"And he'd have to be a charming con man, by the name of Neal Caffrey."

"Neal Caffrey huh? Sounds like a high class actor." Neal said tucking her hair behind her ear.

"I only accept the best." Eleanor shrugged, her eyes burning into his.

"You know what I'd need?" he whispered in his silkiest, sexiest voice.

"What?"

"You." he said right before his lips met hers. She kissed him, holding him close. Tonight and last night seemed to just float away. She had her Neal back. After everything, he was hers again.

"I love you." she said her arms wrapped around his neck.

"And I love you." he said kissing her again. "Come on, Peter should be finishing up with your parents." They stood arm and arm and walked out of Agent Burke's office the same time as her parents were leaving the conference room.

"George, when did you get here?" Eleanor's mother asked her tired eyes confused.

"Uh just a few minutes ago, Ellie called and told me what happened, I got here as soon as I could." Neal said quickly formulating a story.

"Oh, well I'm so glad you could make it George, our Ellie has been through so much tonight."

"Who's George?" Agent Burke asked stepping out of the conference room to join that conversation.

"Agent Burke this is George Devore, he's Ellie's boyfriend." Eleanor's mother said pointing to Neal.

"That's not George Devore, that's Neal Caffrey." Peter said with a confused laugh. Neal shot him a warning look to stop but it was too late.

"What are you talking about Agent Burke? That man's name is George Devore, Eleanor's boyfriend. I don't know anything about this Neal Caffrey character."

"Uh would you excuse me, I need to get a file." Agent Burke said quickly realizing his mistake and exiting down the short flight of stairs into the main floor.

"Eleanor what is he talking about?" her father asked equally confused as her mother.

"Maybe we should take this into the conference room?" Neal said ushering Eleanor's family inside.

"Eleanor Elizabeth Roberts you tell me what is going on right now." Her mother demanded once they were all in the conference room.

"Mom," Eleanor said taking a seat at the head of the table. "George Devore is not a real person, he is an alias."

"What are you talking about? Tell me the truth young lady!"

"Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, my name isn't George Devore and I'm not an art collector." Neal said taking a seat next to Eleanor looking her parents dead in the eye. "My name is Neal Caffrey and I'm a con man."

Tell me what you think!
