Lies I Told Myself

Chapter 3

“Go home, Hotch,” Emily сказал(-а) tiredly, trying to close the door on him. She simply couldn’t deal with this right now. The initial thrill of knowing he’d come to her had faded quickly, the adrenaline ebbing and flowing like the tide. Now, all she felt was an overwhelming sense of impending doom. And quite frankly, it was еще than she could handle in her present state of mind.

Chapter Two

Two hours later, Emily laughed breathlessly as she feinted right, thrusting her weapon and hearing the satisfying clang of steel meeting steel as their sabers clashed. Small rivulets of perspiration ran down her neck, the bib of her mask capturing the moisture with ease as she swayed to the side.

Hotch was good. No, she thought with a mental headshake, better than good. Hotch was excellent. Graceful and lethal, his body flowed as he backed her toward the wall, advancing across the room with well calculated swipes of his weapon.

CHAPTER FIVE

Latching on to the inadvertent opening she’d дана him, like a hand clinging to a lifeline, Hotch nodded. “You’re absolutely right, Emily. I don’t lie.” He paused, then added, deeply, “ I most especially don’t lie to you.”

Lies I Told Myself

Emily POV, Chapter 2

She’d driven way too fast on the ride home, her emotions lending to her leaden foot. It was a bad habit she’d picked up during her teenage years on foreign roads lacking any American-style speed limits. Only in those days, it had only been an overbearing mother that she’d been trying to escape.
