The noise of the BAU celebration was a thick, living thing inside Rossi’s home, a clamor of laughter and the bright chime of glass. Spencer stood isolated near the bar, his gaze pinning you from across the crowded space.

He drew himself up straighter, pretending a sudden fascination with Morgan’s story, but the air between him and you was dense with a silent, crackling tension. you despised him. And he knew it.
