Author's Note: I guess I just wrote this little drabble in relation to the date that won't occur for another hundred years, 11/11/11. It's random and really short, but I really hope you'll still enjoy it! Oh yeah, and don't forget to make a wish. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or any of its characters.
November eleventh, 2011. The eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year of the current millennium. 11/11/11.
Garcia hadn't stopped talking about it for days. Weeks, even.
As the digital time on her cell phone turned to eleven-ten, Emily looked around the bullpen curiously, taking note of each team member…except one.
Where was he? Where could he have gone? With his piercingly dark eyes, handsomely focused visage, and perfectly starched suit…
Oh. There.
There, in the corner of the room, he was getting coffee, his hand steady, his mug steaming.
Emily glanced back down at her cell phone to distract herself, though it was to no avail.
Eleven-eleven, the time read.
11:11 on 11/11/11.
Huh.
"Make a wish, everybody!" Garcia's exuberant voice rang out in the large space.
What to wish for? Emily bit her lip in contemplation before sneaking another glance towards her boss.
Maybe…
Yes.
A wish for a chance at love seemed so terribly clichéd, but it was really all she wanted. So she shut her eyes, called on every bit of will and concentration she could muster…and wished.
And when she opened her eyes to find Hotch looking straight at her, she could help but feel that maybe she would get her chance.
Maybe he had wished for a chance at love, too.
THE END.
Author's Note: I cannot tell you how tempting it was to make this drabble 111 words long, but alas, I had more to say. So, what did you think? Like it? Love it? Please drop me a line and tell me how I did; your feedback really means the world to me. :) As always, thank you for reading!
