The moment you stepped into the bullpen, your stomach twisted. There she was—as she leaned on the edge of Spencer’s desk, coffee in hand, eyes bright as she giggled at whatever statistic he’d just rattled off. Her laughter rang through the room, light and effortless, like she actually found probability equations charming.
Great. She’s back.
You barely whispered it, but Derek still heard. He leaned in, grinning. “Play nice.”
You rolled your eyes.
“Jealousy doesn’t look good on you,” he added, voice dripping with amusement.
“I’m not jealous,” you muttered, but even you didn’t believe it.
As you passed, she turned to you, all smiles. “Hey!”
Your lips stretched into something resembling a greeting. “Hi.”
It tasted bitter.
You kept walking, but the question burned at the back of your mind.
What did she have that you didn’t?
“Hey, Sweets,” she calls, to Spencer all sunshine and ease. “I’m heading out. Have a great day!”
Spencer gives her a small smile, the kind that makes your stomach twist. “You too.”— he says …
She turns to you, waves like you’re old friends. You force yourself to lift a hand in return.
The second she’s gone, you huff under your breath, “Does she have it out for me or something? Geez.”
You make a beeline for the break room, desperate for a moment alone, but you don’t realize Spencer has followed until the door clicks shut behind him.
“What’s up with you lately?” His voice is calm, but there’s that quiet, analytical edge to it—the one that always cuts straight through people.
Great. How are you supposed to get out of this?
“I’m fine,” you say, reaching for the coffee pot like that’ll somehow sell it.
“You’re not.” His eyes study you, sharp but not unkind. “It’s written all over your face.”
You swallow hard, focusing on pouring your coffee.
“Do you think you could be a little nicer to my girlfriend?”
Ouch. You say .. thanks Spence you thought , trying to fight the tears .
Your grip tightens around the handle. “I thought I was.”
"Talk to me," Spencer says, his voice gentle. "We’re friends."
Friends. The word stings more than it should.
“I’m good, Spence. Honestly.” You force a smile, waving him off. “Please, just stop, okay? It’s not even worth getting into.”
“It isn’t?” He steps closer, studying you the way he studies crime scenes—methodically, like he’s piecing together a puzzle only he can see.
“No, it’s not,” you insist, arms crossing. “You’re happy, and I’m happy for you.” You even manage a smile, hoping it’s convincing.
But Spencer doesn’t buy it. His head tilts slightly, eyes scanning your face. “No, you’re not,” he murmurs. “I can see it.”
Your stomach knots.
“How do I prove it?” you ask, your voice quieter now, almost unsure.
watching you closely.
Your gaze locks with his for a moment before you drop your eyes to the floor. “Look, Spence… I can’t do this.”
“Yes, you can,” he counters, stepping closer. “Because we’re not leaving this room until you tell me what’s going on. Or do I have to spell it out for you?”
Your jaw tightens. “You tell me what you think, then, Spence.”
“Okay. Sit.”
“No.”
“SIT,” he says, his voice calm but firm.
Fine. You pull out a chair and drop into it, arms crossed.
Spencer exhales, studying you like he’s working through a case. “Ready for the truth?”
You don’t respond, but he continues anyway.
“You don’t like her. My girlfriend.”
You scoff. “Please stop.”
“No.” His voice is steady, unwavering. “The reason you don’t like her is because you’re into me. You’re in love with me.”
Your breath catches.
“And you have been for a while,” he says, his tone softer now, but no less certain. “But you can’t admit it—to yourself or to me.”
Silence stretches between you, thick, suffocating.
“But I can’t keep waiting around for you,” he finishes. “For when you decide to.”
“This isn’t fair,” you say, your voice barely above a whisper.
“Fair?” Spencer’s eyes narrow. “You don’t think hearing the truth is fair?”
“No,” you murmur, shaking your head. “You—being this way toward me. It’s not fair.”
His brows furrow. “How am I supposed to be toward you?”
You swallow hard. “I’m sorry, Spence,” you admit, your voice breaking. “I’m sorry for not admitting it.”
Spencer stills. When he first said it, he’d only been guessing—poking at the edges of a theory, testing a hypothesis. But now? Now he knows he was right.
You’ve been in love with him this whole time.
“Why couldn’t you just tell me?” he asks, his voice softer now, almost pleading.
Your throat tightens. You look away. “I don’t know,” you whisper. “Because… I don’t deserve you.”
“You deserve her,” you say softly. “Your girlfriend.”
Spencer watches you closely, but you keep your gaze fixed on the floor. “She’s kind, honest. She knows what she wants. She went after it—and she got you.”
You swallow hard, trying to fight the burn behind your eyes.
“I don’t hate her, Spencer,” you admit. “I admire her. She’s everything I’m not.” A shaky breath escapes you. “You deserve to be happy… even if I don’t get to be the one who makes you happy.”
Spencer reaches for your hand, hesitation flickering in his eyes.
“If I had known…” he starts, but you shake your head.
“It wouldn’t have changed things,” you whisper. “It was too late for me the moment you first mentioned her.”
Spencer wasn’t sure what to do next.
“We’re friends, right?” you ask softly.
“The best,” he says without hesitation, but his heart is racing, pounding so hard he wonders if you can hear it.
“I really wish I had known sooner,” he admits.
You offer a small, bittersweet smile. “It’s okay, Spence. Sometimes… we don’t get the person we want.” Your voice is steady, but the weight of the words settles between you like an unspoken truth.
“And sometimes we do,” you add, forcing a lightness into your tone. “Because you got her.”
Spencer watches you, searching for something in your expression, but you just smile a little brighter—like that will be enough to convince him.
“I’ll do my best to be a little nicer. Friendlier,” you say….
He chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck. “Look, she’s not going to be around much. Today was just… um.” He exhales, searching for the right words. “She got an internship at a law firm in New York. And, um… she’s taking it. She just wanted to say goodbye.”
Your breath catches. “Wait—what?” You blink at him, trying to process it. “She’s leaving?”
Spencer nods, his expression unreadable. “Yeah. But… we’re gonna try the long-distance thing.”
Something tightens in your chest, but you force yourself to keep your voice steady. “Oh.” The word slips from your lips before you can stop it.
Spencer’s eyes lock onto yours, searching—analyzing, the way he always does.
“Sorry,” you murmur, forcing a small smile. “I just… wasn’t expecting to hear that.” You inhale sharply, steadying yourself. “I’m happy for her. And I’m happy that you’re gonna try to make it work with her.”
The words taste bitter. You drop your gaze to the floor, focusing on anything but him.
“I should really get back,” you say quickly, desperate for an escape. “We’ve got case files to put away and…” Your throat tightens. “And I don’t think I can sit here any longer without wanting you more—knowing she’s leaving for New York.” The confession slips out, raw and quiet. “I’m sorry.”
You push back your chair, standing too fast, needing to leave before you do something reckless.
But before you can take a step, Spencer speaks.
“You’re sorry?” His voice is softer now, almost disbelieving.
You start walking toward the door, but Spencer steps in front of you, blocking your path.
“Please, Spence,” you whisper, your voice tight. “You’re with someone.” You say it like a reminder—to him, to yourself.
“I know,” he says, but there’s something conflicted in his voice.
“Damn it,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair. “How am I supposed to handle this?”
“I don’t know,” you say, shrugging helplessly.
“You should have told me sooner.”
“Why?” you challenge, crossing your arms.
“Because—for the longest time—”
“No, Spence.” You shake your head, cutting him off. “You don’t get to do this. Because if you do this—”
Before you can finish, he pulls you into his arms, holding you close.
“If I do this?” His voice is low, almost challenging. “What then?”
You inhale sharply, your hands resting against his chest. “We can’t. Not like this. Not when you’re still in a relationship.”
Spencer exhales, frustrated, before pulling out his phone. His brows furrow as he reads a text, his lips parting slightly.
“What is it?” you ask hesitantly.
He doesn’t answer right away, just rereads the message—once, twice, three times. Finally, he turns the screen toward you.
I’m sorry to do this over the phone, Spence, but I’ve been thinking… Maybe long-distance isn’t the best idea. You deserve someone who can be there for you, and that someone isn’t me right now. I’m sorry.
“She… broke things off,” he says, still processing it.
“Spence, I’m so sorry,” you say, and you mean it.
He looks at you for a long moment before stepping closer. Then, without warning, he pulls you back into his arms.
“Spence,” you murmur, but he doesn’t let go.
Instead, he tucks a loose strand of your hair behind your ear, his fingers lingering against your skin.
“I have to do this,” he whispers.
And then he leans in, slow and deliberate.
You weren’t expecting it, he leans in to kiss you with passion like no one’s ever kissed you before ..
What now ? You say pulling back ? …
That was amazing Spencer added , “ maybe we should talk about us he added with a smile maybe over coffee or dinner? — definitely dinner you say holding on to his shirt while he has you in his arms still .. “Great, dinner it is he says .
