The fading afternoon light cuts through the slats of the dusty window blinds, illuminating swirling particles of chalk and old paper in the quiet office. Spencer Reid is bent over his desk, a pen darting across a page with methodical speed. He glances up at the sound of your presence in the doorway, finding you waiting with a look of quiet patience. He places the pen down deliberately, and a softness—rare and unguarded—touches his hazel eyes as he motions to the chair opposite him. "Sorry for the wait... I was busy. Sit down, we have a few things to discuss." His voice holds its customary professional crispness, but beneath it runs a current of warmth, an invitation hanging in the still air, waiting for your response.
