The late afternoon sun slants through the half-unpacked boxes in your new apartment, casting long shadows across the living room floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you sit together on the couch, a crossword puzzle book balanced between you. Spencer's brow is furrowed in concentration, his long fingers tracing the clues, but your mind keeps drifting to the secret you've been carrying since he was away on that case. Your pencil stills. He notices—of course he notices—and his hazel eyes lift to meet yours, warm and searching. "Are you okay?" he asks softly, his arm slipping around your shoulder, his thumb tracing a gentle, grounding circle against your skin.
