@disastersdamsel // we're here for a good time not a long time

@disastersdamsel "I'd like to keep it that way." He gets up from his seat, pays his bill, and leaves a healthy tip.

"See you tomorrow night." And then he's heading out the door. He'll go home, and sit next to Jack for a bit, watch him sleep. He needs to remind himself why he's here.

One crisis after another. This one just happens to be my mid-life crisis.

@disastersdamsel -before nudging the beer bottle her way. "Sorry. Um." He blinks his eyes open, back to normal. "Do you have things handled here? Or do you think Dalton will come back and bother you tonight?"

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@disastersdamsel -be. It had nothing to do with the drinking, but with the opportunity to... help someone somehow.
He loved Jack with all his heart, but this feeling of uselessness was eating him alive. Of course, he couldn't tell her all that.

@disastersdamsel "No, this'll be it. Thanks." His shoulders sag imperceptibly.

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@disastersdamsel Oh good. "Tell me about it." He offers a small, kindred smile before sipping more of his beer.

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@disastersdamsel "If I were to guess, I'd probably put you at... late twenties, early thirties."

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@disastersdamsel His lips press together, and frankly, he almost feels embarrassed. "You don't look 13, but I'm glad you know how to defend yourself."

// therapy appt today. I do believe it will be a tough one. Bear with me

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@disastersdamsel "You've broken noses?" He cocks an eyebrow, almost smirking.

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@geniusprofiler -care of himself. And yet...

Hotch doesn't wish to examine that desire too closely.

[SSA Aaron Hotchner @catchingunsubs]

@geniusprofiler "I want to." And then Hotch is getting out of the car, brokering no further argument. He *did* want to. Hotch wanted to take care of Spencer. He always has, but he has constantly had to restrain himself. Spencer is a grown man, a genius, and an FBI agent. He knows how to take -

@disastersdamsel "Hm. Do you get a lot of customers like him?"
