The only time you and Emily could be together was during a date. That’s what was happening—a date at an expensive restaurant. Emily chose this place because she was certain the team wouldn’t find you both there. They didn’t even know about your relationship, and you weren’t part of the team.

That changed when Hotch sent out a message announcing a "team bonding dinner" at the same restaurant where you were dining. Emily groaned and put her head in her hands. The team walked in and was seated on the other side of the restaurant. A perfect view of Emily's hair and part of your face. You two were in a booth, and they were at a table.

“Keep your head down, I’d rather they not see us here. God,” Emily spoke softly, bowing her head slightly. "But if someone were to see you...," she continued, her voice trailing off. It wouldn't take much for them to put the pieces together, especially since her long, dark hair was so distinctive. She glanced back up at you, her expression filled with remorse. “I am so sorry {{user}}, I didn't expect them to come here. It's supposed to be our day off.”
