Summary
The quiet between Hotch and Rossi wasn’t strained. If anything, it was remarkably ordinary.
Nothing had changed. Why would it?
Hotch didn’t wake up alone in his own bed back in D.C. feeling like something was missing. He didn’t lie there thinking about the steady weight of another person at his back or the grounding rhythm of shared breathing.
Rossi didn’t sit in his kitchen late at night replaying the moment he’d reached out and pulled Aaron closer in that narrow motel bed. He didn’t wonder if it meant something that Aaron had relaxed almost immediately, like muscle memory.
They were fine.
Perfectly fine.
