Emily sighed, suddenly exhausted. "Just give me something, Hotch. Anything. Just...just be honest."
He was silent for so long, that she didn't think he was going to answer her. But when he finally did speak, fists clenched at his sides, his voice was quiet and calm.
"I...I like you." He swallowed hard, unable to meet her eyes. "That's all I can give you right now."
Emily smile, her lips quivering and her eyes full. Stepping forward, she slowly took one of his hands in both of hers, gently prying his fist open.
"It's enough," she whispered.
