For someone who had never seen football before, Spencer was pleasantly surprised to discover that he enjoyed the Redskins game, although that may have been due to the company he was keeping over any actual love for the sport. JJ just made hanging out so simple. Afterwards he walked her to her front door, just as a gentleman should, and she smiled shyly at him.

"I had a great time, Spence. Thank you."

"Well, Gideon bought the tickets and suggested-"

She silenced him with a brief kiss on the cheek and a squeeze of his hand.

"Thank you, Spence."

And he knew then that even if he and JJ were never more than friends, he would love her forever.
