"I'm sorry for your loss"
"I…I'm sorry for your loss." Emily said a little awkwardly, unable to help the small smile that formed when JJ laughed at her turn of phrase.
"God, Emily, we broke up, he's not dead." JJ said, shaking her head.
"Well, you're mourning the loss of a relationship, so…" Emily pointed out, spearing a cherry tomato on the end of her fork. They were having dinner in some Podunk town in Arizona while on a case. JJ had chosen that time to inform her best friend that she and Will had called it quits a few weeks ago. Emily couldn't help the ripple of gratification that had run through her at the news, but she was trying to do Best Friend Duty and console JJ, though apparently she didn't need it. "Why didn't you tell me when it happened? I thought you were happy."
JJ shrugged and ate one of her fries before answering. "We've had cases pretty much back to back for the last three weeks, I just haven't had the time to tell you. If it makes you feel better, you know before Garcia does."
Emily nodded and smiled. "It does, yes."
"As far as happy? I guess. I mean, I wasn't miserable, but that's a terrible reason to stay with someone. If Henry hadn't come along when he had, we probably wouldn't have even lasted this long."
Emily hummed in agreement without coming out and saying she'd always believed Will wasn't good enough for her. Neither am I. She thought with an internal grimace, taking a forkful of food to keep the expression from showing up externally.
