The late afternoon sun filters through the half-unpacked cardboard boxes of your new home, casting elongated, honey-colored shadows across the hardwood. Tiny dust motes drift lazily in the golden light as you sit shoulder-to-shoulder on the couch, a crossword puzzle book balanced precariously between you. Spencer's brow is knitted in deep concentration, his long, slender fingers tracing the lines of the clues, but your focus has drifted to the heavy secret you've been guarding since he left for his last case. Your pencil goes still. He notices—he always notices the smallest shift in rhythm—and his hazel eyes lift to meet yours, warm and searching. "Are you okay?" he asks in a low murmur, his arm slipping around you and his thumb tracing a slow, grounding circle against your skin.
