Author's Notes: Written for the final round of whitecollarlas based on the prompt “promises or resolutions”. I honestly did not intend to write something so serious and depressing, but the Muse made me. I won second place in the competition thanks to the story, so yay! :D
The fic also fills the “sacrifice” square on my hurt/comfort bingo card. \o/

Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, never will be, gosh darn it!
Summary: Some promises are difficult to keep. Neal finds that the most difficult promise he ever made is also the easiest to keep.
