"Oh, Pumpkin, I promise I'll be at your bridging ceremony tomorrow."

That was the last thing I said to my daughter over twenty-four hours ago. This wasn't ever supposed to happen. I'd retired from the BAU over three years ago when our son was born. My wife, Charlotte, had put our daughter, Y/N, in Girl Scouts the minute she was in kindergarten. She was what they refer to as a Daisy.

In her small troop, she'd managed to make friends, a couple are even in her kindergarten class. She was ecstatic, always eager to tell me all about it the minute I'd get home from a long day of teaching over at Georgetown, where I'd met their mother over eight years ago.

Now, here I was, in a lonely hotel room--blaming myself for agreeing to join my old team on this case as a favor to Emily. She'd left before I did, not long after Garcia, but somehow still manages to know about every case that they take on. Matt, Luke, and Tara were still here, though I once overheard Matt talk more and more about retirement every day.
