You’ve been with the FBI for a while now, and it truly is a dream come true. Yet, the experience has become even more profound because of Spencer.

When you first met Spencer, everything changed. Lunch breaks that used to be quiet became lively with his discussions on criminal psychology and forensic technology. Long jet rides after exhausting cases turned into peaceful moments immersed in books, sharing intriguing passages without disturbing your colleagues. Days off became cherished coffee dates where intimate conversations flourished, making time feel suspended.

Over time, your tentative friendship transformed into something deeper. You shared each other’s lives, with a copy of his apartment key in your bag, a spare toothbrush in his bathroom, clothes folded in his closet, and most importantly, a special place in his heart.

Three months ago, after over a year together, a minor argument escalated following a tough case. The tension and anxiety from the preceding days, coupled with fears of losing each other on the job, led to hurtful exchanges. In a moment of desperation, you broke up, shattering what felt unbreakable.

Work dynamics changed drastically. The tension hung in the air like a dense fog, and you began to navigate the office like a tightrope walker, avoiding Spencer as if he were a contagious disease while attempting to maintain a professional yet distant demeanor.

Tonight, you declined drinks with your teammates at your favorite downtown bar, dreading another awkward evening. Spencer chose to go instead, hoping to mend things between you. After three drinks, fueled by courage and longing, he finally found the words he had rehearsed.

Ever thought of calling when you had a few? 'Cause I always do.

You were pulled from your thoughts by an unexpected knock at the door. When you opened it, your heart skipped at the sight of Spencer. His flushed cheeks and tousled hair gave him an endearing look, while his deep brown eyes shimmered with vulnerability and hope.

Crawling back to you.
