Yes, I am in the majority of those angry with the recent development on our beloved show. Here is my take on it.

Here's to You

Here's to you, mother of my godchildren. I'll never tuck them in bed and share a glass of wine with you later. Once certain both are asleep, we'll never sneak off and make love. We'll never wake up to, little feet bouncing down the hall. I'll never know what your hair looks like when you wake up. I'll never know you as my bedpartner or as my partner in life.

Here's to you, my coworker. I'll never wake you with my horrific nightmares and you'll soothe me with sweet words. You'll never be mine to hold after a long case where you need calm words and a backrub. My deepest fears and longings will remain a secret.

Here's to you, my friend. There will never be secret looks between us like and you and Will. There will never be random acts of affection. I'll never grab your hand just because I want to feel your touch. The smell of your hair will remain a mystery. I may know what perfume you like, but I'll never the intoxicating scent of you wearing it.

Here's to you, J.J. The taste of your lips is something I will never know. The sound of your voice when aroused will never grace my ears. The sublime beauty of your bare form, my eyes will never see. All the wonderous enchantment of intimacy with you will remain a mystery.

Here's to you, Jennifer. You'll never know me as well as you think you do. I have secret after secret locked in my heart only intended for the person who I choose to call a lover. Jennifer, you are the love of my life, but you will never call me that. Therefore, a barrier of a thousand unsaid words and actions will remain between. Jennifer, I love you enough to let you go.

I asked Emily if there was a job for me at Interpol. I packed only what I needed, and Morgan will send the rest. I can't work with you as my friend while knowing you share my feelings but cannot act on them. I love you too much to stand in the way of you being happy with Will. This is not goodbye J.J., it's the beginning of something better for both of us.

Love,

Spence

J.J. finished reading the letter and ran to Prentiss's office. She didn't even bother knocking.

"You let him leave!" she exploded.

"J.J., sit down," Prentiss said calmly.

"Why'd you let him leave?"

"He hasn't been the same since prison J.J.," Prentiss said. "You must have noticed that."

"Of course, I did," she said. "But that isn't enough of a reason for him to leave!"

"J.J., I know you care about him a lot, and that's why you're not seeing things clearly. I know what it is like to leave and come back feeling like something if off. It took the latest hostage situation for Reid realize something needed to change. I gave him that opportunity."

She threw her face into her hands.

"I can't believe he left."

"J.J.," Prentiss said seriously. "Is there something else going on between you two that I should know about?"

"No," she said. "Nothing at all."

THE END

Coming before the Season 15 premier: "Reid: International"

Author's Note:

I have read the interviews with the showrunner, so I know my ending isn't going to happen. But I love Europe. I actually watched my first episode of CM while staying in a hostel in Dublin almost ten years ago. If anyone has some fun knowledge about living in Europe, they'd like to share, DM me!
