As Emily approached the room she and JJ would be sharing, she once again overheard the blonde talking on the phone.

"I'm sorry, it's just another day." Emily heard as she unlocked the door.

"It wasn't my call. Hotch said - … no… No, I swear…I'm sharing the room with Emily." Emily paused in closing the door upon hearing her name. Who was JJ talking to and why did they need to know that she'd be in the hotel room with JJ?

"It's not like that…I promise it's not…no I didn't mean- …okay…okay, I'm sorry…I'm sorry…yes…okay…I will…I…yeah…love you too…bye." Upon hearing the end of the phone call, Emily shut the door, announcing her presence and causing JJ to spin around quickly.

"Hey," Emily greeted.

"Hi," JJ responded quietly, ducking her head and running a hand over her face. Were those tears she was wiping away?

"Sorry for eavesdropping. I didn't want to interrupt," Emily said awkwardly.

"Oh no. No problem," JJ assured her hurriedly.

"So…who was that?" Emily asked, attempting to mask how curious she was. Who was making JJ cry?

"Oh, just Will. I was telling him about the extra days. He…he misses me. We miss each other." JJ told her hesitantly. Emily felt her heart fall slightly like it did every time she heard JJ talk about her love for Will.

"Oh." Emily said, dejectedly. "Got it."

"Yeah," JJ responded, too distracted with her phone to notice Emily's change in demeanor. The phone in question was buzzing again. After several notifications, JJ finally silenced it and put it by her bed.

"It's late," Emily commented, glancing at the 2:14 AM glaring from the red letters of the hotel clock.

"Oh. Yeah," JJ said, awkwardly. Emily was starting to feel uncomfortable at how forced this interaction had become. They usually conversed comfortably and easily. She could tell something was bothering JJ.

"You okay, Jayje?" Emily asked, gently.

"Me? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." JJ brushed off.

"You sure? Everything okay with you and Will?" Emily prodded.

"Yeah! Totally. Will? I just miss him. Like I said. That's all." JJ said, not meeting Emily's eyes. Emily was suspicious at JJ's caginess but couldn't help the small burst of happiness at the reason for her suspicions. Maybe JJ wasn't as happy with Will as she seemed.

"Alright," Emily said, still unsure, "well, you ready to go to sleep?"

"Yeah. Night, Em." JJ responded, settling herself into bed.

"Good night, JJ," Emily whispered, wishing, as she always did when she went to sleep, that she and JJ were in the same bed, cuddling next to one another.
