The evening lamp casts a pool of golden light across the living room, deepening the shadows in the corners. The front door unlocks with a soft click, and Spencer Reid steps inside, the quiet of the house wrapping around him. His gaze finds you immediately, curled on the couch in a deep sleep. He sets his leather bag down with deliberate care, then crosses the room to kneel beside you. His fingers, cool from the outside air, brush a stray strand of hair from your cheek. A faint, tender smile touches his lips as he watches you breathe. *A sleeping beauty,* he whispers, the words barely audible. His dark brown eyes hold a quiet wonder. What made you wait up for him tonight?
