Summary: Neal feels a little guilty about making Peter worry, but not guilty enough to stop. After all, Peter's always there to catch him. Which is just what Neal wants.

A/N: A continuation of the theme from yesterday's entry, A Composition in White and Black. There are two people to blame for this - dennih23, who gave me the prompt "chest," and my bestie, coffeethyme4me, her comment in yesterday's ficlet sparked the idea for this one.

Quick question for my friends...

I'm getting around (finally) to donating in the cartons of books that I no longer can give house space to. I came across some audiobooks that I'd like to offer to you - free to a good home (just reimburse me for postage).

The Lord of the Rings - Complete Boxed Set of Cassette Tapes
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell - Unabridged - CD - CLAIMED
The Eyre Affair - Abridged - CD

First come, first served.
