Penelope: "Maybe love at first sight isn't what we think it is. Maybe it's recognizing a soul we loved in a past life and falling in love with them again." Kamand Kojouri

"I don't know about all of you, but I am exhausted," Rossi said and threw his jacket over his shoulder.

"We leave tomorrow at six. Everyone just try and get some rest," Hotch said, and everyone in the elevator nodded. His eyes glanced over at Emily. She was leaning against the metal wall of the elevator. Her eyes shut as the exhaustion took over her body. She was reasonably sure that she could fall asleep standing up.

The elevator dinged, and the six agents piled out of it.

"Goodnight, guys," JJ said and rubbed her eyes.

"Goodnight," Spencer mumbled and made his way to

his hotel room. Derek chuckling as Spencer ran into a wall.

"Goodnight," Derek said and guided Spencer towards his room. Hotch, Rossi, and Emily all made their way to their side of the hallway. The three agents all painfully quiet.

"Goodnight, you two," Rossi said over his shoulder as he made his way to his room.

"Goodnight," Aaron said softly as he opened his hotel room. Emily just waved the two of them off. She slumped as she entered her hotel room. She tossed her gun in the safe and bent over to take her heels off.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Emily opened the door to her hotel room and smiled as Hotch stood there. "Aaron, what are you doing? I thought we said goodnight already?"

"Well, that was for the team. I didn't want anyone bothering us while we went," Aaron said and pulled the flower out from behind his back. A single red rose. "I know you're probably exhausted, and I am too. But, it is Saturday, and I promised you a medium-rare with potatoes and asparagus. Plus, we're already dressed."

Emily looked down at the white top she had on and the black slacks. Hotch was in his grey suit from working today.

"You're killing me, Hotchner," Emily said and grabbed his hand. She grabbed her hotel key and left with him. Hotch was secretive with what he was doing. They rode down the elevator to the first floor and went towards the back. "Where are we going? Valet is over there?"

"I didn't want you to have to go through the trouble of a car ride and waiting for a table and whatnot. So, I brought it here," Hotch said and opened the door. The pool was still lit up with a picnic blanket at the top rock where the lifeguard tower was. Emily's eyes widened at the fairy lights on the pavilions, and her favorite bottle of red wine was in the middle of their picnic blanket.

"Plus, I thought I could throw you in the pool afterwards."

"You must have a death wish then," Emily said and smiled as she turned around and wrapped her arms around him. "This is lovely."

"Come on. The food is just got here. We don't want it to go cold," Hotch said and grabbed her hand. Emily, with the help of Aaron, slipped off her shoes as they made their way up to the life guard's rock.
