Summary
For eight years, Emily Prentiss has kept what she feels for JJ at exactly the right level. Not more. Never more. JJ met Will, JJ married Will, and Emily learned to be the best friend and nothing else because that was what was available, and something was better than nothing.
For eight years, Jennifer Jareau has been married to a man she loved, and then liked and then quietly stopped understanding why she'd chosen. She comes home happy every Saturday from Emily's and doesn't examine why until one Friday night makes examining it unavoidable.
It starts as an accident.
It takes eighteen months, one marriage, and eight years of things neither of them said to figure out what it actually is.
