In Between

30. The Talk

Previously: You and the team has the suspect in custody.

Once you and the team made it back to the police department, you sent a picture of the suspect to Penelope and she figured out his name. The DNA left on the victims and at the crime scenes matched the suspect. The unsub's name is Russel Red. Russel's motive was his old girlfriend Jane Whiteman. The trigger? Honestly who knows at this point. Sometimes unsubs don't need a reason, they just do as they please.

After Russel was incarcerated, everyone went back to Virginia. You went to where your Mom was with Spencer to relieve her of doggy duty. You insisted to pay for her flight back home and she hesitantly agreed. You told her you'd call her as soon as possible then you both said your goodbyes. After she left you went back home with Spencer. You two were going to have a long talk whenever you woke up the next morning, which was now.

Once you both were showered and had full stomachs, you both sat down on the couch, separated.

Y/N: "Do you understand why I was upset?"

Spencer: "Yes."

Y/N: "Why was I upset?"

Spencer: "Because my actions reminded you of what Nick did."

Y/N: "I have another question."

Spencer: "You can ask me anything and everything. Whatever you need."

Y/N: "Are you still talking to her?"

Spencer: "No."

Y/N: "Are you lying?"

Spencer: "No."

Y/N: "How am I supposed to believe you?"

Spencer: "I don't know. And that's on me. I broke your trust. And one day if I'm lucky enough you'll be able to trust me again."

Y/N: "I don't know what we're gonna do."

Spencer: "Maybe you could give me another chance?"

Y/N: "Yeah, I could do that, but then I'm just going go back into the person I'm trying so hard not to be."

Spencer: "I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose us."

Y/N: "Then what do you suppose we do?"

Spencer: "I read about couples going out on trust retreats. They'll check in, do some activities that involve trust, and over the next few days the trust rebuilds again and the couple leaves."

Y/N: "Is that something you'd be willing to do?"

Spencer: "Yes. Absolutely. I'd be willing to do anything."

Y/N: "Great. I'll look into it and see if there's any openings for this weekend."

You got up from the couch and wandered into the bedroom. You opened up your laptop and looked up trust retreats. After ten minutes of searching, you found a retreat called Trusty Times. You took out your phone and dialed their number. After a few minutes you book a room and were all set. It's booked from tomorrow then for the next three days. You head back out to the living room and talk to Spencer.

Y/N: "We're all set."

Spencer: "When does it start?"

Y/N: "Tomorrow and the next three days after that."

Spencer: "We should start packing then."

Y/N: "Yeah. I'd imagine it would start early tomorrow so it wouldn't be a horrible idea."
