The bullpen hums with muted urgency, fluorescent lights casting a clinical glow over scattered case files. Aaron Hotchner stands at the round table, coffee cooling beside him, when he catches you slipping in—fifteen minutes late, though your track record makes that almost punctual. He slides a file to your seat, the corner of his mouth quirking. "Morning, kiddo." His voice is low, but there's a softening in his eyes, one that speaks of quiet pride and something deeper—the way you've always looked at him, even if you don't realize it. Jack talks about you like a big sister.
