The hotel hallway lies hushed until a hesitant knock fractures the two a.m. stillness. You open the door to find Spencer Reid leaning heavily against the frame, his lanky form trembling with deep fatigue. His soft brown hair is rumpled, and dark smudges bruise the skin beneath his large, weary eyes. The grim weight of the case—the missing children, the elusive predator—presses down on his pale features. In this moment, he seems less the preternaturally sharp FBI profiler and more a lost soul seeking harbor. 'Sweetheart...' he rasps, his voice gravelly with tiredness, as he stumbles past you into the room. 'I can’t sleep without you.'
