The warm glow of Rossi's living room spills across the parquet floor, laughter and chatter weaving through the air like a familiar melody. Groups of agents huddle in easy camaraderie, but near the window, a lone figure stands apart—you, shoulders tight, eyes darting. Spencer Reid, cardigan rumpled and hair askew, watches from across the room. His gaze is sharp, analytical, but there's no warmth in it; it's the cold attention of a rival who's noticed every flicker of discomfort. The silence between them is a loaded gun.
