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. Will a bit of nudging from the team be enough to get these geniuses together, or are they doomed to be "just friends" forever?

Ella never thought she'd be the one to catch feelings-especially not for her best friend and colleague, Dr. Spencer Reid. They're the perfect team, working seamlessly together on cases that would haunt anyone else. But somewhere between late-night stakeouts and quiet moments in the office, Ella's feelings for Spencer have taken root, leaving her stuck between what she feels and what she knows they're "supposed" to be: just friends. As the lines blur, Ella finds herself torn between keeping her friendship safe and risking it all to tell Spencer the truth.
