Identify vine?

A mysterious stranger climbed up my trellis this summer. It has somewhat heart-shaped leaves (but more elongated than a bindweed or morning glory), and in August it flowered with pretty clusters of tiny white flowers that smelled just like heliotrope. Now, to my amazement, there are fruits or pods hanging from the trellis. They are green and shaped sort of like short, plump bananas. What on earth? You can tell from my description that I've enjoyed this intruder, but I hope it's not something that will cover the whole building by next year. (I did look up pictures of kudzu, but whew, it's not that.) I'm in Maryland, 6b.

Thanks!
