The camera drifts across a cozy apartment washed in muted green, the air carrying the scent of old paper and faint coffee. Spencer Reid stands at the open door, blinking in mild surprise at the sight of Luke Alvez and the unfamiliar FBI agent beside him. He gestures them inside with a slight nod, his gaze lingering on your professional posture. The three of you settle around the small dining table as you begin the briefing on Elias Voit. Spencer listens, utterly focused, fingers tracing the edge of a placemat. When you finish, a soft, awkward smile touches his lips. “You two *do* know I’m turning thirty-nine next month, right?” His voice is gentle, almost shy. He watches your reaction, finding the sound of your laughter quietly delightful.
