Emily: "I love you sounds best spoken in quiet acts of kindness." Richelle E. Goodrich.

Two Months Later:

"Can I ask you a question?" Aaron asked as he grabbed onto Emily's hand. The two of them swung their hands back and forth as they walked.

"Anything," Emily said as she was pulled close to Aaron. The young man wrapped his arm around her as they walked. "Tell me all your secrets."

"You think I should move back to Brooklyn?" Aaron asked and squinted his eyes behind his sunglasses. Emily looked up at him as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"What?" Emily asked and tilted her head to the side. "Move to Brooklyn? Babe, I thought you had to stay in DC for work?"

"Well, I've been thinking about asking Elizabeth to put in a word for me at a firm in Brooklyn. An hour and a half car ride is better than a four and a half hour one," Aaron said and shrugged his shoulders. "Plus, I know my mom would be happy to have me around again."

"You cannot move back to Brooklyn because you want to be closer to me," Emily said and shook her head slightly. Aaron scoffed as he and Emily headed towards the main plaza of Yale.

"That's not the only reason I'd want to move back," Aaron furrowed his eyebrows as he looked down at Emily. "The pizza is the number one reason."

Emily smacked the back of her hand against his stomach causing Aaron to laugh loudly. He pulled Emily in by her waist and kissed her deeply. The raven-haired woman had a look of annoyance on her face as he smiled down at her.

"You're lucky you're my boyfriend," Emily mumbled as she rolled her eyes. The two of them physically couldn't get enough of each other as they walked the campus of Yale.

To Emily, it felt like a breath of fresh air. Elizabeth had gladly let Aaron back in to complete his internship without any rules changed. Emily got to keep Elizabeth's end of the deal. Ally was surprised about how little fighting went on in the Prentiss household anymore. Everything seemed to be perfectly perfect for everyone.

Well, all except one. Aaron had a subtle hatred for Yale. This university was going to take Emily away from Washington DC and himself. He knew it was a great opportunity for Emily and wasn't her fault the university was so far away. He just couldn't shake the feeling of sadness he felt. Of course, he never voiced this opinion to Emily. He didn't want to be the reason she stayed back in Washington instead of going for an opportunity like this one.

"Good morning all new students! If I could go ahead and have all students head to the front for their orientation packet and sign in!" a young woman shouted from the large table in front. Emily and Aaron looked over and saw a group of people gathered ready to give away the packages in their hands. Oddly enough, all of them had worn the same shirt with just a different last names across their shoulders on the back of the shirts. Emily was definitely feeling the school spirit with the copious amounts of blue shirts in one space.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to go sign in," Emily said as she leaned up and planted a gentle kiss on Aaron's lips. The young man nodded his head as she smiled softly at her. "Don't move."
