"Ma'am," Agent Aaron Hotchner spun around automatically. "Who is it that just drove through the gate?"

"Oh, that's my daughter Emily. Perhaps you've seen pictures of her?" Ambassador Prentiss deadpanned. "Come, I'll introduce you two. She just got back from Yale."

Aaron Hotchner was working security for Ambassador Prentiss. It was his first job as an agent with the FBI. He had been working there for just over a week when he first heard of Ms. Emily Prentiss and assumed that all the photographs of a tall, teenage girl with brown hair and brown eyes was the ambassador's daughter. The gate down the drive closed and he heard the car pull up to the front of the house. When the driver stepped out of the car, Aaron was surprised to see taller version of what he had seen in the photos. Almost identical. The woman the stood in front took his breath away. She was

"Agent Hotchner, this is my only daughter Emily. Emily, this is Agent Hotchner. He is working my security detailing," said the ambassador.

"Ms. Prentiss, please call me Aaron," he greeted with an almost giddy smile. If she was in her final year at Yale, that put him at two years older than she.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Aaron," Emily returned the smile.

"The pleasure's all mine Ms. Prentiss," Aaron turned chivalrous.

"Please. If I'm to call you Aaron, then you're to call me Emily. How long have you been detailing for mother?" She asked her tone filled with curiosity.

"It has been a little over a month now. How are you enjoying Yale? It is your final year am I right?" He asked with a sly smile. "How are you liking it?"

"Yeah, fourth year. Only one more semester then I'm free!" She sighed and noticed Aaron's subtle grin. "What are you grinning at? Wait! Let me guess… you went to Stanford… no, Harvard! Am I right?"

Aaron chuckled. She was good. He had gone to law school and studied psychology and criminal justice. From what she just guessed, he knew she would be a really good profiler.

"Yes, I went to Harvard and majored in criminal justice. You? What are you majoring in?"

"Same. I'm really interested in that department. What a coincidence!"

And with that, the two hit it off immediately. They talked for hours and hours on the human mind, their futures, their hopes, and education. Little did they know the two of them had a whole different future together.
