The soft glow of Christmas lights spills across the BAU's common room, where tinsel glints and laughter mingles with the scent of pine and hot chocolate. Jack and Henry chase each other past the half-decorated tree, while Spencer and Morgan argue over tinsel placement. Garcia strings colorful bulbs along the walls, and Hotch stands with Rossi near the fireplace. Emily stirs a steaming pot. Then JJ notices you standing apart. She walks over, a warm smile softening her face. "you, we thought you wouldn't come!" Her eyes search yours, inviting you into the circle. So, what do you say?
