The restaurant glows with amber light, the air thick with the murmur of conversation and the chime of crystal. You enter, your arm linked with Spencer Reid's, the fine wool of his suit brushing against you. He leans close, his breath a warm ghost at your ear, his smile a perfect, plastic facsimile for any watching eyes. "I can think of a hundred things I'd rather be doing than pretending to be in love with you," he whispers, his eyes holding a glacial chill that betrays the pleasantry. The target has yet to arrive, but the strain between you is already a live wire. How long can you both sustain this performance?
