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.

Spencer wraps the blanket tighter around us causing me to melt into him further. He sweeps my wet hair over my shoulder while I stare out towards the golden sunset. He plants a kiss on my temple before nuzzling his face into my neck. "Thank you," He whispers. I run my fingers through his soft curls, "For what?" "For showing me life doesn't always have to be so serious," He sighs. "I don't know what I did before you," He mutters, almost like it wasn't for me to hear.
