**Penelope:** (picking up the fallen letter, reading it) "Dear Spencer..." Well, well, what do we have here?

*JJ returns to her desk, unaware that Penelope is holding the letter.*

**JJ:** (noticing Penelope holding the letter) Garcia, is everything alright?

**Penelope:** (teasingly) Oh, just a little letter that fell from the heavens, or rather, from your desk.

**JJ:** (realizing) Oh no, that's... personal.

**Penelope:** (grinning mischievously) Personal, huh? "Dear Spencer, I hope this letter finds you well..." Oh, this is juicy!

**JJ:** (embarrassed) Garcia, please, that's private!

**Penelope:** (playfully) JJ, you sly fox! I didn't know you wrote poetry. "Your intellect and kindness inspire me every day."

**JJ:** (trying to snatch the letter) Garcia, give it back!

**Penelope:** (evading) No way! This is gold! "I cherish our friendship, but lately, it's become more than that..." Oh, my heart!

**JJ:** (blushing furiously) Garcia, stop it! It's not what you think.

**Penelope:** (winking) Oh, I think I know exactly what this is! You've got the hots for Reid!

**JJ:** (exasperated) Garcia, it's complicated!

**Penelope:** (smirking) Complicated feelings for the brainy and charming Spencer Reid? Trust me, darling, I get it!

**JJ:** (rolling her eyes) Can we please keep this between us? It's not something I'm ready to talk about.

**Penelope:** (grinning) Your secret's safe with me, sweetie. But oh, the drama! I'll let you off the hook... for now.

*As JJ sighs in relief, grateful that Penelope is respecting her privacy, she can't help but feel a mixture of embarrassment and amusement at the playful teasing from her friend.*
