someone to love • spencer reid

all delainey 'laine' harris-tran wanted was to help people. plain and simple. she knew what it felt like to have the whole world fall around her and wanted to do her best to prevent it from happening to others. that's how she got into the fbi's behavioral analysis unit. well, that and her absolute savvy for all things pertaining to behavior. she had good instincts, people skills, and she could read others like a book. she accredited these skills to being trained in acting from the age of five. she even went to a performing arts school, but when her little brother and sister were murdered, she knew she needed to make a change in career paths.

she would make a great new edition. except she's a little distracting. it's not her fault. it's not her fault that spencer reid was immediately drawn to her. he wasn't sure why. he'd never felt like this before and he wished it would go away. and it did, sometimes. but as soon as he thought of laine...it flushed right back into his system.

laine's attraction wasn't as immediate. or as confusing. but when she finally realized her feelings, she knew it would take a lot to stay professional. boundaries are something she had promised herself she would comply with.

but maybe that's not what either of them needed. maybe all they needed was someone to love.
