INTRODUCTION

I'm the only girl in my family. My older brother Aaron is some big shot FBI agent who leads a team of probably the best damn agents in the Bureau. He's got an adorable son Jack and he's basically the one of the three of us with his head on straight and his life in good working order. Which is typical for the eldest child in a family, right?

Then there's Sean.. He's just a little older than me, he's the middle child and he's a little more wild, a lot less like Aaron (who if you ask me, is more like our father at times than even our father was) and he works as a chef.. He's about to open his own restaurant and he's dating this amazing girl named Felicia. They're pretty serious, at least they were last time I heard anything out of him.

And then there's me, the baby of the Hotchner clan. At 26, I'm currently going to college for medicine. I wanna break out of our family's history in law enforcement.. Thanks but no thanks.. I'll leave the danger and catching the bad guys to my oldest brother, Aaron. I'd rather help to heal people.. Or dance.. I'm minoring in Dance and I work two jobs part time when I'm not in class.. I teach fitness and dance at a local gym and I intern at a hospital when I'm not doing that.

I guess you could say I'm a pretty busy girl, but apparently, I made time to find love.. Or I thought I'd found love.. I didn't realize until far too late when things got really, really scary that what I'd managed to stumble head first into wasn't love but it was actually a damn nightmare.

A hell of my own creation if you will.

And as predicted, Hotch was the first one to pick up on the little signs.. And he tried everything to warn me about Joshua.

I just didn't listen.. I was being stubborn, I was convinced that this guy was my knight in shining armor.

Well, now here I am, scared to death.. My knight in shining armor, however, was not Joshua.. He turned out to be someone I'd never expect.

His name?

Dr. Spencer Reid.

I know, I know.. This guy doesn't date, blah, blah, blah.. He's a genius and obviously, by the above statements, you ma'am, are a dipshit. You guys are already writing this off, counting the various ways it could screw up.

But it is what it is, okay?

And it's my story to tell.

This is how I met Spencer Reid, from beginning to (hopefully) happy ending.
