The orchard burned on a wedding night no one remembers fondly. Smoke rose into a black Virginia sky, curling like fingers around a forgotten name. By morning, there were only cinders, and one woman walking out of them like a ghost - Emery Vale. Sixteen years later, the ground stirs again. A murder. A signature. A heart carved into skin. The BAU is called in. For Aaron Hotchner, it's just another case - until he hears the name of the town. Until he sees her face again. Grace Haynes, a teenage girl, is found dead in the orchard. Her best friend, Calla Vale, doesn't cry. She sketches instead. And the face she draws? A girl named Ivy Hart. A girl she's never met. But the adults in Manassas, Virginia have met Ivy. They remember her. They just wish they didn't. The past is rising like smoke again. And this time, it's coming for all of them. OR when, The past is not only unresolved - it's alive, bleeding back into the present through ritualistic murders, buried trauma, and a long-forgotten death. The BAU arrives in Manassas expecting a case. What they find is a deeply personal reckoning for Aaron Hotchner, a haunting return for Emery Vale, and a chilling echo of Ivy Hart - a girl who died young, but may never have truly left.

"It's been awhile," I looked at him with a small smile. "What brings you back here? You're not here because you missed me, are you?" I raised my eyebrows and gave him a sly smirk. He didn't answer, clearly he wasn't in the mood to play. "Don't be shy, Agent, I missed you too," I tilted my head to the right, allowing the corners of my mouth to move upwards. He raised one eyebrow, still locked in his silence, still staring at me. I had had enough of his cold demeanor, he was the one who came to me. "Why are you here, Hotchner?" I asked. "It better not be because you have more questions about my father, because I'm not answering any more of those." I moved my head an inch forward, putting my entangled hands on the table, looking at him intently, making sure he understood. "I want you to work for me," the handsome man in the suit finally spoke. - This is a Criminal Minds story. I do not own Criminal Minds.

in theory, the average number of dates it takes to fall in love is twelve. twelve dinners, twelve walks on the beach, twelve kisses goodnight (if you're the type to kiss on the first date). twelve chances for you to fall in love. but take dating out of the equation, and what do you get? twelve separate instances whereby two individuals spend time with each other. the outcome? falling in love anyway. because it's not the circumstance, it's the people. in this case, it's two people who were never meant to fall for each other. but did anyway. ᴄʀɪᴍɪɴᴀʟ ᴍɪɴᴅꜱ [ ɴᴏ ꜱᴇᴛ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ ] 𝘼𝘼𝙍𝙊𝙉 𝙃𝙊𝙏𝘾𝙃𝙉𝙀𝙍 𝙭 𝙤𝙘 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙-𝙨 ©2020
