`p`*wxc`p``p`*wxc`p` "Hey, Spencer." Fiona turned to look at Reid, thinking about how to comfort him, "I believe you must have done what you had to do. She's sick and you just want to help her."

"I understand what you mean." Reid murmured, "Actually, that's how I convinced myself."

"At least you write to her every day, don't you? Not many people write to their parents anymore," Fiona said.

"Maybe I did that just to assuage my guilt." Reid said lightly, "Do you know why I don't visit her more often?"

"I can sort of guess why," Fiona said. "You feel guilty when you see her, don't you?"

Reid lowered his head and fiddled with the buttons on his phone, opened the incoming message box and exited again, but no new text messages actually came in.Every time he feels uneasy or embarrassed, he will subconsciously use some small movements to divert his attention.

"Not all of that," he whispered hoarsely.

"I saw you with her," Fiona said. "You care about her, there's no doubt about it. You're a good son, Spencer, don't doubt that."

The lines of Reid's lips were pursed into a straight line, and the corners of his mouth were raised a little, "...Thank you."

Fiona found the cemetery where Gloria Mars was located according to the map.She stopped a few times to study the map, which aroused Reid's curiosity.

"I'm a road idiot." Fiona explained calmly, "I used to come here with my dad."

Reid didn't seem to suspect anything.He would never be able to guess the truth - how could a person who loves science doubt such unreliable things as soul possession?

But Fiona was lucky. After arriving at the cemetery, she quickly found Gloria's cemetery.

On the white marble tombstone is engraved a line of beautiful words: Here lies a gentle mother and wife who died in a cruel accident.The photo on the tombstone shows that Gloria was once a noble and beautiful woman during her lifetime. She looks very similar to Fiona.

Fiona put the lily on the tombstone, and Reid put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her silently.

Fiona smiled at him and said she was fine.She felt sympathy for what had happened to gloriamars, but that was all.She has never seen this woman before, and her impression is limited to the description in Fiona's diary.It was impossible for her to feel sad for a stranger.

But standing in front of the tombstone, she suddenly thought of her mother.This somewhat made her feel a little sentimental.

She rarely visits her mother's grave.Her mother had registered for body donation before her death, so the cemetery was actually just an empty tomb.She never visited her father in prison.The man sent her Christmas cards every year, but she never replied.

They did not stop at the cemetery much. Reid seemed to be keenly aware of Fiona's depression, and he began to try to make the atmosphere a little easier.

"By the way, do you want to hear a joke? I don't know too many jokes." He said thoughtfully, "There is a joke about cats."

"tell me the story."

"Experimental physicists did an experiment in which two nearly identical cats, identical in weight, color, size, etc., were slid down from a roof. It turned out that there was something distinctly different about the two cats—but how could there be any? What's the difference? One of the cats is meowing louder."

After Reid finished speaking, he looked at Fiona with the corners of his mouth upturned, waiting for her to laugh.

Fiona couldn't help laughing.

"You're the first person to get amused by my jokes," Reid said.

Fiona won't tell him that his tone and demeanor are more exciting than the joke itself.

Then they ate at a random restaurant on the side of the road that looked good.

And Reid was still telling Fiona his jokes.Probably no one is willing to appreciate his jokes, but now he finally has a chance to vent. Fiona thinks she is a good listener. Even if she doesn't catch the joke, she can still laugh when she sees Reid talking non-stop-who told him to be so cute when he talks?And this is enough for reid.

"Two atoms accidentally bumped into each other in the restaurant. One of them said, oh no, I lost an electron! The other asked, are you sure? The first electron replied, I'm positive. I am positively charged)..."

The waiter just happened to bring his combo and chili fries.

"Thanks," he finally stopped telling jokes and muttered.

After eating, they took a walk in a nearby green space.

They found a bench and sat down. Reid looked particularly relaxed, he leaned back in the chair and squinted his eyes contentedly, his brown hair reflected a subtle sheen in the sunlight.The light dark circles under his eyes were not so obvious under the bright sunlight, and he looked a little different from the usual bookish genius doctor.

Fiona approached him and leaned on his shoulder like the couple opposite.His shoulders were not thick, and his slightly thin shoulders pressed against her temples, but she felt more comfortable than any pillow.She felt Reid's hand suddenly wrap around her waist uneasily, she laughed softly, and moved closer to him.She put her hand on his thigh and squeezed it ambiguously. Reid didn't move, but lowered his head and pressed his lips on her hair and kissed her.

She looked lazily at the lawn not far away, where a family was having a picnic, and their golden retriever was galloping with a frisbee, a very typical beauty of family harmony.She squinted her eyes, breathed in the scent of green grass, and really wanted to spend the afternoon doing nothing like this.

After an unknown period of time, the phone rang suddenly, and Reid's body bounced violently.He yawned sleepily and took out his phone from his pocket.

"Hello?" he asked hoarsely, "JJ? What's the matter?"

The expression on his face quickly became serious. Fiona immediately realized that there must be a case.

"Okay," he said, "I understand, I'll go right back."

"What's wrong?" Fiona asked.

Reid frowned and looked at Fiona, "... something happened to Gideon."

Reid left in a hurry, and he returned to Quantico.He then sent Fiona a text saying they were working on a very important case.

Fiona only heard about the terrible incident from Reid afterwards.Frank, the most murderous serial killer in history, is back, murdering agent gideon's best friend sarah.

Fiona can't know the details of the case, she only knows that they finally found out Frank's real name, drove him to nowhere, and finally ended with Frank committing suicide.

"He left, Fiona," Reid said to Fiona on the phone. "He didn't say hello to any of us before he left."

Fiona could hear the heaviness in Reid's tone. "I'm very sorry."

"He was... like a mentor to me," Reid said.

"I understand," Fiona said. "Maybe he needs a while to rest. He'll be back."

"I'm going to check out his vacation house. He might be there," Reid said suddenly.

Then, Reid hung up the phone.

At dawn the next morning, Fiona woke up suddenly from her sleep.She flipped through her phone casually, and found two unread messages appeared on the phone.

"I'm here. He's not here," Reid wrote succinctly.The time when the message was sent was yesterday evening.

The other message was sent by Reid, and the time shows it is early this morning, "Are you awake?"

Fiona replied: "Now awake."

At the same time, a doorbell suddenly rang.She got up from the bed, grabbed her pajamas and put them on in a hurry.She walked to the door and was surprised to find Reid standing in her doorway.

She opened the door and asked in surprise, "Spencer?"

He was also wearing a thin knitted jacket and a shirt.He was pale and haggard, looking like he hadn't slept much last night.She suddenly remembered the message just now.He wouldn't have been waiting for her to wake up at the door, would he?

"Oh, no." Reid smiled wearily, "I just arrived not long ago." He looked at Fiona, "Are you on vacation today? I don't have anything special, I just want to see you suddenly."

"Oh, I happen to have time today." Fiona hugged him briefly.She felt that his hand on her waist was extremely cold, and she suspected that he had actually lied just now.He had probably been standing at the door of her apartment for a long time.

She let him in sideways and poured him a cup of hot water.

He didn't touch the cup of hot water, but hugged Fiona.

He leaned down and kissed her hair. Fiona hugged him tightly and looked up to find his lips.His palms rubbed her back and waist, and the cold temperature of his fingers easily penetrated her silk pajamas, but she didn't mind.

"...So you haven't seen Gideon." Fiona said hoarsely.

"No." Reid whispered, "He sent me a letter."

He took out the crumpled letter from the pocket of his knit jacket, on which Reid's name was written in large characters.

"Can I see it?" Fiona asked.

"Of course." Reid said, "I haven't shown it to anyone else."

The letter was not long, but gideon's apology could be seen between the lines.He said he had to find what he believed in. His friend Sarah once made him believe in certain good things, such as the possibility of happy endings, but Sarah's death left the wise old man lost for a while. .

"He'll be fine." Fiona said firmly after reading the letter.

"Yes, he will," murmured Reid, with a sudden upturn of his mouth and a forced smile, "he only left me a letter, Fiona. He knew I'd be looking for him, and no one else would." .Because he knew I was the one in the group who needed him the most—I was more vulnerable than them. They seemed to take him easy, but I wasn't."

"You don't have to be like everyone else. You are Spencerreid, unique." Fiona touched his cheek and smiled. "You are a very good detective. No one can question this, including yourself. Believe it Me, he wrote to you just because of what he expected of you. If he was really worried about you, he wouldn't use words like that. You're the one who does the handwriting analysis, and you can tell there's something in his letter Any element of worry?"

Reid was silent for a moment.

"You know what?" He burst out laughing. "I actually like your compliments. It probably doesn't make me arrogant, does it?"

"Arrogance? Of course not. All you need is more confidence. But sleep seems to be what you need most right now." Fiona yawned and said, "Come on, I just wanted to sleep a little longer. Vacation I'm usually used to sleeping until noon."

After falling back on the bed, Fiona soon fell asleep.When she woke up again, she found herself clinging to Reid's body like an octopus, her legs tightly sandwiching one of his thighs. Reid didn't even push her away - his patience was always so good.

Reid was still sound asleep, Fiona couldn't bear to disturb him.She put an arm around him, feeling the warmth from his body.In the end, she couldn't help but put her hand into his shirt, contentedly stroking his smooth chest with a touch of fluff. Reid gave a hoarse "um", turned over and pressed her arm.

"Spencer?" She called his name, but he didn't wake up, he must be exhausted. `p`*wxc`p``p`*wxc`p`
