So, you know how the members of the BAU occasionally return to an unsub or others involved in a case?...
"The carriage is waiting." he said.
"Really?" She smiled. Taking his hand she let him lead her toward the black SUV, her gait slightly off due to the single high heel she wore.
Smiling still she let him load her into the backseat and watched as he got in the front. She gazed out the window, content that her prince finally had come.
6 months later
Reid took a deep breath and adjusted his messenger bag as he opened the door to the building before him. The receptionist smiled at him as he approached the front desk.
"Hello, I'm here for a Claire Dunbar?" The receptionist shuffled some papers.
"Oh right, you must be Agent Reid?" Spencer nodded at her and she smiled again "Come right this way. She's been waiting for you."
The receptionist led Reid to a sunny, dayroom type area where a blonde figure stood, staring out the window and fidgeting with the folds of her sundress.
"May I approach?" Reid asked. The blonde whirled around, revealing the face of a young women. She grinned at Reid.
"Of course you may my Prince! Come sit down." And she motioned to the whicker chair. Reid sat and she sat next to him.
"My Prince where have you been? I was so worried that you had left me." She frowned. Reid gently smiled and took her hand.
"Never, my apologies my lady for I have been on business."
She smiled again.
"That's alright you're here now aren't you?"
"Yes I am. But not for long I am afraid. You see I'm going away again."
"You're leaving me?" she cried. Reid did his best to diffuse the situation.
"Shh, yes I'm leaving but I'll be back for another visit. As for now let's make the most of the time we have alright?" Reid soothed.
Claire immediately brightened.
"Okay, perhaps we should talk, I would love to get to know you my Prince."
Reid gave her a smile.
"Well I love to read."
"Me too! May I share my favorite story with you?"
"Of course."
And so for the remainder of the hour Reid listened as she told him all about fairytales, particularly Cinderella. When the time came he got up and gave her hand a small kiss.
"I'll you again in a few months alright?"
She nodded.
"Goodbye my Prince!"
The receptionist appeared in the door way and led Reid out.
"That was really nice of you." The receptionist noted. Reid just shrugged in response.
"Well I assume we'll be seeing you again?" The receptionist asked. Reid nodded.
"See you in a few months." He called as he opened the door.
