I... don't know what to say about this...
ALSO, I AM ON SPRING BREAK! YAY!
It amazed Aaron Hotchner how much the little things brought forth memories of Haley, the kind that would gently brush aside the sight of her dead body and remind him of the bright actress he'd fallen for. Yes, he'd moved on after his long dream, but a part of his heart would always be hers, and that part would surface, sometimes at such random moments that he wouldn't even know what it was that prompted them.
It was in the way Jack might ask a question that was so like Haley that Aaron would spin and expect to see her. It was in the smell of banana pancakes, which reminded him of the first song they ever danced to, a song by the name of "Banana Pancakes", standing in her family's kitchen late at night as two kids in love. It was in the sound of his own laugh, a sound that admittedly didn't appear as much as it should, whatever excuses about work he might make. It was in the times when the team would go out to that small bar on the outskirts of town the night of the Super Bowl, the same place that he and she danced for the last time before everything started going wrong.
In every day, he found the magic to bring back the memories of a life stolen too soon, and a life that deserved so much better, and somehow, it hurt less to remember her. It really was an everyday magic.
