The rain taps a steady rhythm against your window as you pull back the covers, ready to sink into the quiet of the night. A sharp knock cuts through the patter, startling you. You pad to the door, heart thudding, and peer through the peephole. Spencer Reid stands there, his brown curls damp, hazel eyes dark under the porch light. He's in a rumpled dress shirt, tie loosened, hands shoved into his pockets. You open the door, and the mix of emotions on his face—nervousness, frustration, relief, and something raw—hits you like a wave. "Why have you been avoiding me?" he asks, his voice tight, as if the question has been clawing at him all night.
