''Sophie wait up!'' Nate called diving into the mass of people and trying to keep sight of Sophie s mass of hair. Upon arriving at the car, he open the door for Sophie then she entered the car and then she quickly get out of the car like she was upset about the dinner were Hardison and Parker showed up. Nate followed her

''Oh Nate sorry about you pulling the car of here in the side Sophie'' mumbled, tucking her unrully hair behind her ears and casting her eyes to the floor.

Nate walked over and ran his arm around Sophie's shoulder, pulling her closer to him and letting her rest her head against his shoulder.

''Now are you going to tell me what was wrong earlier or am I going to have to ask?'' Nate gently said inhaling the sweet smell of honey from her hair before wrapping his other hand round her waist.

''Not just now. Not here'' Sophie whispered letting a lone tear drip down her cheek.

''If you insist dear''. Nate teased wiping her eyes and leading her back to the lab to try and piece together some evidnece about the murder.

After a while Nate said ''Let's go to my apartment ok Soph''. He said

Nate opened his door and swept a hand inside his apartment.

''Ladies first''

''That would be me then I take it Sophie'' giggled, taking her coat of with elegant eaze and hanging it on the coat rack beside Nate s door.

''The usual? Cup of coffe?'' Nate called through from the kitchen

''No thanks, a large glass of red wine please'' Sophie called back as she slid her hand along Nate s array of CDs and DVDs

''I think I ll join you on that''. Nate smiled, handing Sophie one glass and plonking himself down onto his couch.

''Now do you fancy telling me what was wrong earlier?''

''Oh Nate'', Sophie gushed, ''I don t know where to start''.

Nate placed a hand on Sophie s shoulder, ''From the start''

After a good few glasses of red wine each and Sophie s long and dragged out story of what was on her mind Nate butted in.

''So what your saying is you want to go further, but want to just keep it low on the agenda. Eliot and Hardison and Parker also not finding out and telling the whole world?''

''Your got it in a oner'' Sophie sighed letting her head flop to the side, coming to rest against Nate s shoulder.

''Hey let's lighten up the atmosphere abit. CD or DVD'' Nate smiled sweetly placing his glass down on the coffee table and eyeing up a couple of classics

''Oh definately a CD. I couldnt bare to sit down and watch a good four hours of some classic you want to watch''. Sophie smirked refilling her glass and Nate's when he wasn t looking

''Ahh here this one is new. You might like it''

''Someone call an ambulance! Nathan Ford has bought a new CD!'' Sophie laughed

''Well just have a listen and see if you like it. This is my favorite song'' Sophie laughed placing the CD into the player and skipping to track 10, pressing play then sliding back in beside Sophie.

We re the best partners this worlds ever seen,

Together we re close as can be,

But sometimes it hard to find time in between ,

To tell you what you mean to me.

You are the rose of my heart,

You are the love of my life,

A flower not fainted,

Nor falling apart,

If your cool let my love make you warm,

Rose of my heart.

''Nate that's beautiful'' Sophie whispered, gazing into Nate s eyes before letting him softly plant a kiss on her lips.

''You are the rose of my heart Soph, I don t know what I would do with out you'' Nate tenderly whispered before kissing Sophie again.
