Philophobia: fear of falling in love. "What are you afraid of?" Aaron questions. "What do you mean?" "The closest you have gotten to anyone on this team is as family. Nothing else. What are you scared of?" Hotch questions again. "Love. I'm scared of falling in love. I can't tell you why Hotch," I say. "Then let me tell you something. When Hayley died we were going through some things. You were there for me and Jack. I'm scared of loving someone because I don't know if I'll loose them like did Hayley. You've showed me what it's like to fall in love again," Aaron explains. "I can't. I promised myself I wouldn't. Not with what happened last time." "Whatever happened won't happen again. I can promise you that," Aaron says taking my hand. "Aaron Hotchner. Are you saying you love me?" I smirk. "Did I make it obvious?" I stand up and give Aaron a hug. I place a kiss on his cheek and walk out of his office.

"Why didn't you wait for backup?" He yelled. "I didn't want him to get away." I said, walking further into the room. "You disobeyed my direct order." He said, still yelling. "Would you have rather me let him get away?" I said, getting louder. Not quite as loud as him. "You could have been shot." He said, still yelling. He took a step closer to me. "I know." "You could have been killed." He said, softer. "I know." I said, almost a whisper. "Your insubordination could have ended in death Catherine." He yelled inches away from my face. "I know." I said, getting louder. "I don't know how you could be so careless." He said, continuing to yell. "I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" He said, yelling. He put his thumb and middle finger on the bridge of his nose. "Hotch, I-" his lips came crashing onto mine.
