She helps children find their voices.
He's spent years silencing his heart.
When a case brings FBI profiler David Rossi and speech therapist Ellie Hart together, it isn't sparks that fly, it's silence. A gentle, aching kind of stillness neither of them has felt in years.
She's 28. He's in his late 50s.
She quotes books. He writes them.
She's light. He's lived in shadow.
But something in the quiet between them feels like belonging.
This isn't a whirlwind. It's a slow, soul-deep burn. A story about timing, trust, healing...
and the kind of love that changes everything without saying a word.
'Sometimes the loudest thing between two people... is the quiet.'

But she would soon discover that she was never fully untethered from her past- no matter where she went or the oceans she crossed, some shadows simply never faded; their grip remained unyielding.

Accidents Happens (EmilyxReader)
I thought I knew what family was-until I lost everything. The people I counted on vanished. The people I never expected... stayed. And her? She was always there. A week after my boyfriend leaves me for the girl he cheated with, I find out I'm pregnant. Scared, alone, and unsure who to turn to, I try to hold it together-but Emily sees me anyway. At five in the morning, during a case, she catches me crying and sick. I tell her everything. And just like that, she becomes my anchor. Through fear, heartache, and the chaos of the team rallying around me, our friendship begins to shift... into something neither of us can ignore anymore. OBS! I do NOT own any of these Criminal Minds characters or their individual plot, only the ones i've created myself, and this new plot of course.
