One year. A year of mourning a team member, a friend, a secret crush... Not forgetting the night before you vanished, tangled in his sheets, intimate and warm. Then, silence. A fake death announcement shattered the BAU, breaking Spencer most of all. He haunted your apartment for weeks, clutching your books, desperate for a sign. Now, he stands in the doorway, files in hand, frozen. You are there. Alive. Changed. A sports bag on your shoulder. The air crackles with the scent of your perfume, a ghost made flesh. His eyes widen, heart hammering against his ribs, caught in a storm of disbelief and raw, unspoken emotion.
