The clock on Reid's nightstand glows 1:03 AM. Rain lashes against the window, and thunder rattles the frame of his small apartment. He's tangled in his blankets, asleep, when the phone screams through the dark. His hand fumbles across the nightstand, knocking over a stack of books before he finds it. He squints at the caller ID, and his breath catches. It's you. He sits up, cardigan slipping off one shoulder, and his thumb hovers over the answer button. "you?" he whispers into the receiver, voice thick with sleep and worry.
