I sighed leaning down in the seat I was sitting in when a knock on my door brought me out of my reading state. I looked up to see Spencer at the door making me shocked and a little surprised at the same time. I thought he would be mad at me, I saw the emotionless face and I knew that he was mad but wasn't showing it. 

He shut my office door before looking back at me, I saw a tear roll down the side of his eye before I stood up and ran towards him and wrapped him in a bear hug. I cuddled closer to him, as I felt his tears hit my back, "Spence-" I was about to say but he cut me off.

"I don't want to hear it Grace, you could've told us." He said, how can his mood change from one to another in an instant. It broke my heart and he must've saw the look I gave him as I looked down at the floor nervously. "Why? Why lie?" He asked and I sighed as I felt my heart break thinking about Hali. 

"I didn't want to tell you because I thought if I did you would become the next victim," I said shuffling my feet nervously.

"I buried you, I buried you in the ground thinking you were dead. Yet here you are, alive." He said and that's when I broke, tears came streaming down my face as I listened to my brother. I hated it, I left them to keep them protected and not to get hurt but yet they are hurt but in a different way than in what I was hoping for. 

"I'm so sorry Spence," I whispered and he crossed his arms.

"It's a little late for that, isn't it?" He asked before he walked out of my office and slammed the door on my face. I gasped as It hit it's hinges and I felt more tears piling up in my throat but I pushed them back as I heard the door open again. 

"Go away Spence-" I was about to say but I was interrupted.

"It's not Spencer," Said Morgan's voice floating through my office and I stopped exactly where I was as I looked over my awards. Taking a deep breath, I silently let more tears come down but Morgan turned me around and wiped away the tears.

"I'm not as mad as him, I'm just worried you won't be as good as you were before leaving." He said and I leaned forward as he touched my face, there was still sparks there in which I was thankful for because my crush for him never really went away after I was "killed". 

His thumb brushed over my lips and I leaned into it, I saw him smirk at my reaction. He leaned forward nearly meeting my lips. "You really want me to kiss you, don't you?" He asked and I chuckled as he leaned forward and brushed his lips against mine. 

"And the two lovebirds are back!" Shouted JJ, taking us both by surprise and making us groan and glare at her as she and the team chuckled and awed at us apart from Spencer. Whom was nowhere to be seen.
