AN: I'm so very sorry that it took such a long time for me to update this story. It has been a very hectic few months for me. Anyway I hope you would still continue to read this story. Also I read a challenge on the Lizzinton FB page about a challenge to fanfic writers to write something and that has been enough of a kick for me to continue this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Blacklist

Liz waited for Red at the deck of his yacht as he is preparing their equipment for fishing. She took a step towards the hand rails and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh breeze that only the open sea could provide. She closed her eyes as she tried to reflect on what has transpired between him and Red these past few days. Funny how she's in the FBI most wanted list yet in this moment she has never felt more secure than she does now. And there's no doubt in her mind that it's because of Red.

"Lizzie." Red calls to her, but it fell on deaf ears.

"Lizzie". He tries again, this time with more volume.

She was startled. She fell deep to her reverie that she didn't even realize he was calling her.

"Sorry, I spaced out for a moment." She said, taking a step towards him.

"What were you thinking about?"He said as he hands her the fishing pole.

Taking the fishing pole from him she replies, "Nothing to be worried about."

He nods though not fully convinced with her answer.

He then proceeds to take a seat on a chair situated on the deck of the yacht as he puts the bait on the pole. She then proceeds to take a seat beside him and proceeds to do the same.

"Sam used to take me fishing almost every month when I was a kid. Every month I would look forward to it because there's something about fishing that brings this peaceful aura."She said, giving a bittersweet smile. "I miss him."

"I'm sorry."He said as he saw the sadness starting to fill her eyes.

"I'm sorry too."She said.

"You know fishing doesn't only bring this sentiment of peace but also melancholia. At least it does for me."He said, biting the side of his cheek as he usually does when contemplating something.

"How so?"

"I remember this one time when I took my daughter fishing for the first time. She was so excited to go that she was even the one who woke me up that morning." He said smiling as he recalled the memory.

"We went to the pier in the morning and there were a lot of families their also fishing. I would never forget the look on her face as she caught her first fish. But then again she didn't want for it to die so she returned it to the sea moments later."He said as he chuckled.

"That's cute. I think I probably did the same on my first catch."She said as she moved a little closer to him.

"We never got to go fishing again after that first time. Of course, she kept on asking me for us to go but I couldn't find the time. I was quickly going up through the ranks and free time was hard to come by."He said as the grin disappeared on his face and got replaced with regret and sadness.

Liz just stared at him and placed held his hands in an attempt to comfort him.

"I wish we could have gone fishing for one more time."Her actions caught him a bit off guard but who was he to reject the comfort that this beautiful woman is offering him.

"I'm sure she cherished that moment with you greatly."She said, offering him a smile and nudging at his hands.

"I hope so."

They sat in comfortable silence for the next half hour, as no words have to be said, just the presence of each other enough to pacify their musings.

Moments later Liz felt like a fish finally took notice to her bait.

"I think I got something here!"She calls Red excitedly as she stood up.

"Well reel it in then."

"I think it's big. It feels pretty heavy. Could you help me?"Liz asked, struggling a bit to keep her grip on the pole.

Red immediately comes to her aid as they both try to reel the fish in.

"Steady, steady."Red keeps on repeating the words.

"There you go. Almost there, got it!"Said Red and pats her back.

"Wow it really is big. Do you think we should put it back in the water?"Asks Lizzie

"I think it's only right."He replied.

As the moment calmed down Liz asked Red if she could get him anything inside.

"A beer would probably be nice."Red answered.

"It's very early for you to be drinking already."

"Please…"He replied giving her puppy eyes.

"Alright, but just one." She replied, unable to resist the look he's giving her.

When she returned to the deck, Red was leaning on the hand rails clearly in deep thought.

She decided to join him and tell him something.

"Here's your drink."She said as she handed it to him.

"Thank you."He flashes him a smile.

"Thank you."She replied to him as well.

"For what?"He asked slightly confused.

"For sharing that story of your daughter with me. I know it must have been hard for you to tell that story."She said, and plants a light kiss on his cheeks.
