In Another Lifetime


“Did te have someone like Emma Schuller?”

The domanda takes Emily completely off-guard. Here they are, home from that brutal case, Emily herself tortured da Dave’s confession, da her own knowledge that the man currently sitting on her divano – her boyfriend, her significant other, her lover – had a woman like Emma Schuller in his life.

The one that got away.

Whether...

Hotch sighs as he watches Emily work in the bullpen. It’s been almost a week since… Well, he’s honestly not sure what it was. Part of him is sure he and Emily broke up, ended their relationship, but the thought twists his stomach too painfully for him to accept it as truth. What he does know is that she’s been haunting the place. She does her work and to the caliber he’s come to admire and respect, but there’s nothing left in her anymore.

And he can’t help but think that it’s his fault.

He’s good at the blame game. He’s used...

Chapter 3

“Go home, Hotch,” Emily detto tiredly, trying to close the door on him. She simply couldn’t deal with this right now. The initial thrill of knowing he’d come to her had faded quickly, the adrenaline ebbing and flowing like the tide. Now, all she felt was an overwhelming sense of impending doom. And quite frankly, it was più than she could handle in her present state of mind.

Quickly inserting his foot in the partially open door, Hotch stilled its onward momentum. “No, Emily. Not until we discuss what happened this morning.”...

Chapter Two

Two hours later, Emily laughed breathlessly as she feinted right, thrusting her weapon and hearing the satisfying clang of steel meeting steel as their sabers clashed. Small rivulets of perspiration ran down her neck, the bib of her mask capturing the moisture with ease as she swayed to the side.

Hotch was good. No, she thought with a mental headshake, better than good. Hotch was excellent. Graceful and lethal, his body flowed as he backed her toward the wall, advancing across the room with well calculated swipes of his weapon.

When they’d...

CHAPTER FIVE

Latching on to the inadvertent opening she’d dato him, like a hand clinging to a lifeline, Hotch nodded. “You’re absolutely right, Emily. I don’t lie.” He paused, then added, deeply, “ I most especially don’t lie to you.”

“That’s what I just said, Hotch,” Emily snapped, wondering if the man in front of her was looking to extend their time together da repeating everything she had to say. If so, she could easily make that line of attack very ineffectual.

“Just hear me out, Emily....

To Parry o To Feint

Chapter One

Emily Prentiss was tired, but not the physical kind of tired associated with strenuous activity. At this point, she would have much preferred the fatigue that came from overuse of her various muscles. But that was not to be the case this time. No, instead, her soul was tired. And from experience, she knew this kind of lethargy was much più exhaustive.

The entire team was running on fumes…and frayed tempers. Not a giorno had gone da that they hadn’t dealt with a harsh word, a attraversare, croce look, and worse, the not-so-infrequent temper tantrums....

Chapter 4

“What? Why?” Hotch asked, eyes widening in surprise as he stumbled for one word questions. And even that was a stretch for the dark man sitting successivo to Emily Prentiss, his mind unable to comprehend anything beyond the last thing she had said.

Surely he had not detto his ex-wife’s name in the middle of the night. Surely.

“You tell me, Aaron,” Emily frowned, watched as his face closely. A man couldn’t fake that kind of shock, could he? And that was the only way she could currently describe the expression that settled over his face. Pure...

Lies I Told Myself

Emily POV, Chapter 2

She’d driven way too fast on the ride home, her emotions lending to her leaden foot. It was a bad habit she’d picked up during her teenage years on foreign roads lacking any American-style speed limits. Only in those days, it had only been an overbearing mother that she’d been trying to escape.

Now, it was the pain of a doomed Amore affair.

She never thought she’d yearn for those awkward, uncertain days in countless countries around the world with only her distant parents for company....
