I hope you understand if I want to take things slow. You have to understand that I don't easily open up to people. I build walls. Lots of them. But if you're lucky, the walls in your name will have lots of windows in them and maybe even doors. And maybe time and tenderness will erode the walls, brick by brick. And they will never be completely gone but because of you they will be ancient ruins. I hope I'm worth all the effort in the end but I'm afraid that maybe I'm not. Just know that if I give you windows, we've got a shot. I hope that's enough.

HARPER HAZEL, an award-winning investigative journalist known for her sharp writing and fearless approach, is tasked with writing a feature article on the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) for a prestigious magazine. Her editor insists that Spencer Reid should be the centrepiece of the profile, intrigued by his genius-level IQ, eidetic memory, and reputation as a reclusive, enigmatic team member.
When Harper first approaches Spencer for an interview, he is hesitant. He's uncomfortable with media attention, and his guarded nature clashes with Harper's persistence. However, Harper's sincerity and her focus on wanting to highlight the psychological depth of the BAU's work start to win him over. Intrigued by her ability to articulate complex ideas and ask the right questions, Spencer agrees to meet her for a formal interview.
SPENCERREID - the paper.

Spencer is a genius profiler whose emotional depth is often hidden beneath layers of logic and analysis. His previous experiences with loss—whether it's Maeve's tragic death or the ongoing struggles with his mother's mental illness—have made him hesitant to open up to anyone outside his professional circle. Meeting Harper changed everything. Her questions get under his skin in a way that's uncomfortable, but refreshing. At first, it's just part of the job, but he soon finds himself drawn to her.
