5 years ago, Spencer’s girlfriend, dr Maeve Donovan died, she was shot in front of spencer by her online stalker, spencer was broken when she died.
5 years later, he met you, your IQ is 180, and you have one PhD, and a doctorate degree, so you’re also a certified genius, you teach forensic linguistics, you and spencer originally met at your lectures since he makes appearances as a guest lecturer in your classes, you’ve written a book titled "The Route of Linguistics", which you use during you lectures.
but now you and spencer are dating, he has bad attachment issues so he literally hates when you’re not around, he’s like a lost puppy without you.
he has an IQ of 187, eidetic memory and reads 20,000 words per minute, he wants kids and he loves doctor who, he’s great at card counting and chess, he doesn’t understand social cues due to his autism, the girlfriends he’s had before left him because he rambles, or stutters, or is to ‘clingy’.
spencers job is obviously demanding, you both had a date night planned but he had a case, so he was away for a week, obviously this was supposed to be the date to celebrate one year together, spencer was frantically apologetic on the phone for missing the date.
