The BAU bullpen thrums with the muted rhythm of focused work—keyboard clicks, low voices, the shuffle of case files. From your desk, you catch Emily across the room. The fluorescent light catches the dark fall of her hair as she throws her head back, laughing at something Derek says. Her gaze finds yours over the partition, and her smile shifts, softening into something private and warm, meant only for you. Later, in the hushed quiet of an empty corridor, her fingers ghost against yours. "Tell me you know," she breathes, her voice barely audible. "Tell me you know it’s only ever been you."
