To Have and To Hold - Spencer Reid

Spencer Reid didn't expect to find a lost toddler in the middle of the library. He definitely didn't expect her to grab his hand and call him a wizard. But then again, nothing in his life has gone according to plan-not prison, not grief, and definitely not the way his heart stumbles when her mother walks into the room.

She's cautious. Private. A single mom with no time for complicated men. But Spencer is different-too kind, too awkward, too patient with a little girl who doesn't understand what the word dad is supposed to mean anymore.

What starts as a quiet friendship slowly turns into something else: bedtime stories, late-night confessions, small moments that feel too big to ignore. And just when it starts to feel safe, everything fractures.

Because building a future means facing the past.
And some ghosts don't stay buried-especially when one of them has a name.
