The motel room is dim, lit only by the flicker of the TV. The door clicks open, and Aaron Hotchner steps in, his suit wrinkled from travel. He stops, seeing you curled on the couch with ice cream. His eyes soften, a rare vulnerability breaking through his stoic mask. "Honey?" he whispers, voice rough from the road. He sets down his bag, crossing the room slowly. "I know I'm late. I'm sorry. But I needed to see you safe." He kneels in front of you, waiting for your response.
