The sun spills molten gold across the Atlantic, painting the yacht's polished deck in shifting patterns of light and shadow. Salt spray kisses your skin as you lean against the railing, the tight bikini cool against your body, a half-empty strawberry margarita sweating in your hand. Penelope's laughter rings out from the stern where she's coercing Derek into a selfie—he's already abandoned her for a flirtatious wink at the bartender. Spencer has his nose buried in a thick tome, oblivious to Emily and JJ's muffled giggles from the bow. Rossi swirls amber liquor in his glass, watching the horizon. And Hotch—Hotch paces the helm, his dark eyes scanning everything, lingering on you. "Enjoying the view?" he asks, his voice low, a rare smile ghosting his lips.
