✧ -"Closing your eyes, you think of the man who's holding you; what he's been through...you and Spencer Reid are two broken people just trying to put yourselves back together again. Somehow, you are his glue, and he is yours."-✧

Diana Smith-or Dr. Smith-is the newest genius at the BAU. She's landed Hotchner's team where she re-meets her childhood friend, Spencer Reid. The two reconnect instantly, much to the delight of the team. But when Diana begins to see her best friend as more, he isn't quite on the same page.
