Emily's P.O.V

Emily's recalling the memories of when she first met Aaron; when he was working for her mother. She's thinking about how much she loves him and how she hasn't stopped loving him since then.

Walking into Hotch's office: the first morning. His face took me straight back to the start, despite aging the Aaron Hotchner I saw that day was the exact same Aaron Hotchner I saw when he worked for my mother all those years ago.

The way he never smiled, yet had a comforting touch to him. His eyes kind, Aaron Hotchner. Aaron and I - Starcrossed lovers…

I remember when I first met him, his voice blew me away. I wondered if there were still mutal feelings, if he still liked me. I remember that night, that night we made love. The contours of his body fitting perfectly with mine, the heat of his body providing the perfect warmth.

We were both young then, yet knew what we were doing was wrong. He worked for my mother but that Hotch. Hotch then. He didn't care and neither did I. Aaron Hotchner, the man that I love with all my heart and I was not going to let anything stop me.

That time we had together was the best of my life, when he left, finished working for my mother my heart broke. That was the end, the end to only come with a new realization. Aaron. The man I completely and utterly love, then man I want to spend the rest of my days with. Aaron Hotchner, someone I would hope to be able to call my soul mate one day.

Entering into his office. That ring, the first thing I noticed. Had he forgotten about me? Were the feelings not mutal?

It hurt, seeing the ring, his hostility towards me however hurt more. The new beginning and a rocky start. The beginning. The beginning of becoming co-workers; the beginning of having to hide such strong feelings from such amazing minds.

It had been long since that time together as lovers; the memories still vivid. Aaron Hotchner a man of such Charisma. A man I had let go and longed to have back. Such loss, such a tragedy, such inevitability.

My heart longed for a second chance, a new start, a new beginning with Aaron Hotchner. Maybe if we'd met under different circumstances things would have been different. If we were not such starcrossed lovers, that ring. THAT RING. If things had been different, if the situation had been different. That ring would be one binding us together. Aaron and I…
