Why this must be read:
The show has given us wonderful little snippets of how Peter and Elizabeth met and their life together pre-canon and I love how well this piece fills in some of the blanks. The Burkes are one of my favorite married couples on tv right now and this author really gets their dynamic and just how adorable Peter and Elizabeth are together.
He walks up to the desk, where she's going over the sales numbers for the week, and he holds up a photograph. It's her, waving the sign. Behind the photo, his expression is a mixture of exasperation and fear. It's kind of fascinating.
"I just got my butt kicked all over the office because of this," he says. "Apparently it's a misappropriation of FBI funds to stalk witnesses."
Elizabeth shrugs. "You gave me no choice, my staff was freaked out."
"Were you?" he asks, but there's real anxiety in his voice, though he's trying to be all badass-cop.
"No," she says. "A little impatient, maybe."
He blows air through his lips, an almost frustrated sigh. "Look, I swear I'm not a creep, I'm just really bad at this. You can tell me to go to hell and I'll knock it off. Otherwise, you want to get some Italian?"
The last couple of words come out in a rush.
"Are you free now?" she asks, reaching for her coat.
"I -- what?" he asks.
"Italian. Are you free for lunch?" she repeats.
"But...the photograph -- " he visibly cuts himself off. "Yes. Yes I am."
