"Diana wants to see you" Emily said entering one of the patient's rooms where Lisa was currently changing the bed sheets.

"Back so soon? I thought you'd be honeymooning in Tahiti by now" Lisa said as she gestured for Emily to help her put the new sheets on the bed.

"Give it time." Emily told her with a laugh. They finished cleaning the room and Emily took the cart from Lisa. "You go, I'll finish this up."

"You sure?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah, just don't forget to put in a good word for me." Emily said with a wink as she pushed the cart down to the next room.

Lisa smiled and made her way back to the recreation room where she found Diana and Spencer playing a card game. Before she could go over to them though she was stopped by Rachel.

"Hey, so did you get to see Emily in action?" she asked.

Lisa laughed. " No I didn't, we switched rounds and meds so that she could talk to him. I was off changing sheets."

"Shame, it's always a good laugh."

"I'm sure." Lisa said smiling and heading off back to her final destination. "Hey Diana, Emily said you wanted to see me?" Lisa asked, waiting until the introductions had been made, to address Spencer.

"Lisa, Yes I wanted you to meet my son, Spencer. Spencer this is Lisa." Diana introduced him, putting her cards down and gesturing toward the skinny boy across from her. Spencer stood up and put his hand out for her to shake.

"It's nice to meet you Lisa, my mother's told me a lot about you." He said as they shook hands.

"It's nice to meet you too. Diana talks about you all the time." Lisa said smiling. Seeing Spencer Reid up close she could better understand Emily's attraction. Spencer had a soft face and a sweet smile.

"Lisa is probably the only person here with any real intelligence." Diana told her son.

"Come on now Diana, be nice. " Lisa admonished her, though her smile let on that enjoyed the praise.

Spencer analyzed Lisa as she spoke with his mother. He didn't mean to, but analyzing people was a hazard of his job. Her auburn hair was kept in a bun at the base of her neck and she stood ramrod straight and had a permanent smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"So, Spencer, I'm guessing you'll be staying in town for Diana's birthday." Lisa said bringing his attention back to the conversation at hand.

"Um, yes, yes I am." Spencer answered.

"That's nice." Lisa said. She clearly didn't know what else to say, and neither did Spencer, but his mother soon took care of that.

"Lisa, why don't you play a hand with us?" She asked.

"I really should be getting back to rounds." She said although Spencer couldn't tell exactly how true that was.

"Nonsense. I demand you play one hand with us." Lisa smiled at Diana and sat down.

"Alright one hand, what's the game?"

Diana gathered the cards and re-dealt them. "Gin Rummy." she told Lisa

"Ah, one of my favorites." Lisa commented as she picked up her cards. As they played Spencer could see why his mother liked this girl. She was happy, something that was unusual to see around the facility. Most of the doctors and nurses were stone faced, having seen too many patients go in and out, too many people who couldn't be helped, it was just like the faces he saw at work. Compared to that Lisa was a breath of fresh air.

As they played she made jokes, and though Diana didn't laugh she did smile every now and then, something Spencer wasn't used to seeing.

"So Spencer, Diana says that you work with the FBI," Although it was an innocent enough statement, it was said with a hint of disbelief.

"Yes. I do." He told her. She nodded but didn't look as though she believed him.

"Must be exciting." Lisa commented picking another card up.

"It has its moments I suppose." He said, as he picked up a card, finishing his hand. "Gin" he said throwing a smile to his mother.

"You think by now I'd know I can't win against him." Spencer felt his neck get hot. He had never liked his abilities being brought to light.

"Yeah, well win or lose it's always fun to play the game." Lisa said standing up and excusing herself. "It was nice to meet you Spencer." She said tilting her head towards him.

"You too." Spencer said, watching as she left.

"Isn't she great?" Diana asked, bringing her son's attention back to her.

"She's nice," he told her, "another game?"

"Sure." Spencer smiled at his mother as he dealt another hand of cards.
