Aaron Hotchner was sitting in his office. From his desk he could see her desk. He watched her. Would she help? Would she want to?
He picks up the phone, "Prentiss, could you please come in to my office and bring that case file you are working on".
"Yes Sir". Emily Prentiss begins the walk up the ramp to her supervisors office. Unsure of what exactly he wants from the file she knocks.
"Come in, please. Sit".
"I brought up the file. What exactly did you want –"
"I didn't want to review the file. I need to ask you something but wanted to ask you here and not over the phone."
"You could have just asked me to come up". She is becoming intrigued by now. What did he want.
"I need your help. Your company more accurately. Sean is getting married. The invite said to bring a partner. I don't think I could stand to see their faces if I show up to another gathering along.
"Would you accompany me to the wedding? Please. I know this isn't normally the thing I would ask, but –"
"Hotch, I'll help you out. I love weddings. Any excuse to frock up. When is the wedding?"
"Saturday week. One more thing Prentiss. Could I ask that in front of people can we pretend to be, well, attached? I hate seeing pity in my families faces".
"Yes Sir. If you think that would help".
"Thank you so much. And please, outside the office, call me Aaron".
"Well then, it's Emily from now on too".
