The final, heavy click of the BAU door echoed down the empty corridor behind her. JJ drove through the night, the streetlights painting fleeting stripes across her windshield, her focus narrowing to the simple, magnetic pull of home.

She watched you sleep, the rise and fall of your chest a rhythm more calming than any case debrief. Sliding beneath the sheets, she wrapped herself around you, her exhale soft against your skin. Here, with you, was the only sanctuary she ever needed.
