"Emily? Can I speak to you in my office please?" Hotch asks.

Emily is infuriated at him. Since he can't get her to voluntarily talk to him he's going to force her? She looks down as she bites her lip. She isn't going to cause a scene. She isn't that type of person. So she gets up from her chair and pulls a fake smile. "Of course."
She makes her way into his office and waits for the door to close.
Hotch shuts the door behind him.

"Emily..."

"No Hotch. The only reason I stepped into this room was to not cause a scene. Don't you ever think that-"

"I know. I just want to explain everything."

"Well then explain!" She whisper yells.

"Not yet..."

"What do you mean not yet? We aren't children. This isn't a game, Hotch."

"I will explain. Tonight. Let me take you to dinner."

Emily roles her eyes at his offer.

"Look, I know your cheating. If you want to leave me, do it here, not over dinner."

"No, Emily. That's not it..."

"What else would it be Hotch?" She shoots back.

Hotch is silent.

"So it's true." Her eyes start to form tears.

Hotch stays quiet, afraid to speak.

"Damn it Hotch! Is it true? Are you cheating on me?" She throws her hands into the air.

"Baby..."

"Don't call me that ever again!" She runs out the door.

"Emily! Wait! Let me explain!"
