"So" she started, her voice laced with warmth and concern, "You need help to pack up your car, love?"

You forced a smile, appreciating her offer. "No, I'm almost done, thank you"

She nodded understandingly yet continued to watch you from the door frame. Feeling a mixture of emotions, you then sat down on your bed, your gaze fixed on the floor. As you moved your hand back and forth over the duvet, a flood of memories and emotions overwhelmed you, eliciting a nostalgic smile on your face.

Sensing your inner turmoil, she looked at you intently, concern etched on her features. She sat beside you and gently took hold of your hand, a silent gesture of support.

"What's wrong?" she inquired softly.

You met her gaze, your eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and grief that you had been holding back.

"Put a hand on your heart," she suggested taking both your hands in hers, "And say whatever you feel, I'm here to listen" she reassured you, her eyes conveying genuine care.

"I," you started hesitantly, "Want to move out, trust me, I really want to. That place is just all that I've ever desired. It's just... I don't want to leave you. And the BAU... I don't want you all to be mad at me because I left my life for a wish"

As you poured out your inward conflict, she took your face in her hands, stroking your cheeks with her thumbs in a comforting manner. "We want you to be wherever you are at your best, ok? I love you - we love you, and the only thing we ever wanted was for you to be happy"

The weight of her words sank in, and you closed your eyes, a solitary tear escaping and running down your face.

"We ain't angry at you, love" she continued, offering a tender smile, "You're the greatest thing we've lost, but that doesn't mean we are gonna keep you from achieving your dreams"

Her sincerity wrapped around you like a comforting embrace, allowing you to feel the depth of her love and support amid your inner turmoil.
