[Zhongyingmei] The last string

When Hotch sat in the first class of the plane, he actually felt a little unreal in his heart.

He looked at Viola who was sitting next to him with his eyes closed and meditating, and felt that he was really controlled by impulse.

However, this feeling is not bad.

When they arrived in Las Vegas, it was past ten o'clock, and when they got out of the airport, they saw a car coming to pick them up. The driver was actually Viola's housekeeper, Warren.

"Warren? Didn't the driver come over?" She was a little surprised when she saw Warren.

"Tom is home, and all the employees who want to go back, Ms. Kary, have given them a vacation," Warren explained with a smile, and then turned to look at Hotch who just got into the car, "Long time no see, Mr. Hoter."

Hotch nodded and greeted the old man politely.In fact, from the time he got into the car, some nervous emotions surged in his heart.

Although it's not the first time we met, last time he was just visiting as Viola's boss, so he didn't feel any burden.

However, this time his identity has changed.

To be honest, even if you told him a few years ago that he would end up with his team members, he probably wouldn't believe it.

Viola next to him was asking Warren about the family affairs this year, and the old butler drove the car intently, and could find time to answer a few questions.

Hotch silently stroked Viola's hand on the seat and held it gently.

She felt the sudden temperature and weight on her hand, and turned her head to look at it with some doubts, but Hotch didn't reply either.

To this, Viola's reaction was only to slightly turn her hand in the other direction, hold his hand back, and smile at him shallowly.

The car was driving smoothly on the road. Las Vegas deserves to be called the "city that never sleeps". Even on a national holiday like Christmas, many shops on the street are still open, and the lights shine on the night sky, just like daytime.

After driving for half an hour, we finally arrived at the place. Viola's home is still so big and scary, but this time, the atmosphere of Christmas can be felt from the outermost iron gate.

A few circles of red, white and green decorative tapes were wrapped around the iron gate, hanging loosely, and a Christmas wreath made of rattan was hung on the top of the middle.

Standing outside the door, you can see a huge Christmas tree on the aisle in the middle of the garden in front of the villa, with colorful lights, Christmas balls, small gift boxes and other decorations falling all over the tree. There are too many to count, and a golden five-pointed star is placed on the top of the Christmas tree.

Viola knew that it was all the work of her gardener.

Warren went to park the car, and Viola pulled Hotch inside by herself.It was very late now, not to mention that she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, Hotch was probably too hungry.

Most importantly, however, she wanted to see Kary.

Opening the door of the villa, Kary was standing at the door waiting for her to come back.

Viola let go of Hotch's hand, walked quickly to her aunt, and gave her a big hug.

Kary probably didn't expect Viola to be so excited, he froze for a moment, and then showed a helpless but happy smile.

"Okay, what a grown-up." She raised her hand and patted Viola on the back, but her gaze had passed her niece to Hotch who was standing at the door.

Hotch naturally noticed Kary's gaze, he felt a little embarrassed, but the surface was still the same as usual.

"Hello." He nodded slightly and said politely.

Kary was much softer than he'd imagined, and she gave Hotch a nod with a genuine smile.

Viola took her aunt's hand and looked back and forth at the two smiling people, feeling a little better.

"Kary, I'm sorry I'm late, have you eaten yet?" She called Kary earlier to tell her that she would come back later than scheduled, and told them to eat first, leaving some for her and Hotch OK.

"Everyone else has eaten," Kary replied softly, "I'll wait until you arrive."

Viola opened her eyes slightly, and said with some guilt: "It's all my fault."

"Why don't you go to dinner soon?" Kary raised his eyebrows and said pretending to be angry.

While talking, the three went around and came to the restaurant.

The big round table used by the whole BAU last time was removed and replaced by an ordinary long rectangular table that can seat six people.

The table was covered with all kinds of dishes, and in the middle was a whole roasted turkey whose skin was golden brown and crispy.The large roasting pan containing the turkey is also covered with various fruits and vegetables, from asparagus to celery, as well as onions and potatoes. If you look closely, there are many chestnuts mixed in. Viola knew at a glance that these fruits and vegetables must have been stuffed into the stomach of the turkey and roasted together. After the roasting, the turkey was disassembled. These fruits and vegetables could be used as side dishes.Next to the turkey is a plate of apple pie, exuding a tempting sweet smell.The mustard kale is small in size, and it becomes soft and juicy after roasting, which is just right for each bite.The polenta is light yellow, and it looks very soft under the warm-toned light. It may be that it has just been cooked for a long time. There are some small bubbles in the warm ceramic pot, and the heat slowly rises from the porridge surface.Creamy mashed potatoes served in a large bowl looked soft and creamy.

There are not many dishes, but there are more than half of the table.

Viola sat with Hotch and Kary sat across from them.

Warren was back, bringing champagne and milk for the three of them - champagne for Kary and Hotch, and hot, sweet milk for Viola, of course.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was great, and Kary was more talkative than Hotch imagined, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.

He always felt that Kary's attitude towards him was softer and closer than last time's being polite and polite.

The Christmas dinner at the wrong time was eaten for a long time, and the chat was very happy. The food on the table became less and less, and in the end the three of them were a little full.

Viola originally asked Warren to go to bed first, and they could clean up the dishes after eating, but the old housekeeper obviously disagreed and insisted on accompanying them to the end.

Of course, it was impossible for the housekeeper to come alone for the clean-up work, and all three of them helped more or less.

Especially when Hotch felt he should be doing something instead of just sitting around.

Cleaning up with a few people is always quick. Even Kary, who is really not very hands-on at ordinary times, helped to collect some knives, forks and dishes.

After roughly tidying up, Warren was persuaded by the two hosts to go to rest, and the three who were full chose to go to the reception room to rest for a while before going to bed.

Why choose the reception room instead of the living room, of course, because the reception room has a fireplace.

The lit fireplace exudes a warm fire, and the burning wood makes a creaking sound. Kary played a CD of classical music that Viola liked, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

If you say it's small talk, then there is no purpose.

Kary talked a lot about Viola's childhood, for example, once Viola's father took her to the casino to play - of course, without telling Viola's mother, but her father just talked about some things with others, and then Turning around, he realized that Viola had already disappeared.

This made Viola's father very anxious, and sent people all over the casino to find someone. As a result, this little heartless man sneaked into a certain suite in the casino and fell asleep unconsciously.

Viola's mother didn't know about this at all, otherwise Viola and her father would be punished if they found out.

Although Viola herself didn't want Hotch to know the embarrassing things when she was a child, seeing the smile on her boyfriend's face made her feel a little softer.

Forget it, he'll be happy.

The things that the two agents encountered throughout the year were either bloody or curious, or always very dangerous. Hotch knew that Viola didn't want Kary to know how dangerous her life was, so he deliberately avoided these topics at this time, even if Kary mentioned them himself, he would avoid them subtly.

But it's impossible to let Kary talk endlessly by himself. In return for learning about Viola's childhood fun, Hotch also talked about his childhood.

This was a windfall for Viola, she nestled in her boyfriend's arms and listened to him with interest.

The night was getting deeper, and the outside world had already fallen into silence, only the bright moon hung high in the starless night sky.

Viola started to feel drowsy, listening to the soft and soothing classical music, her head nodded, and finally fell unconscious in Hotch's warm embrace.

Hotch gently pushed back the long hair that covered her face, and the expression on her face was a tenderness that he couldn't imagine himself.

"You'll be good to her, won't you?" Kary, who had been silent, suddenly whispered, his face turning serious.

No one knows better than her how monotonous Viola's love life is.In high school, besides studying, I still studied. After I went to Yale, I taught one or two boyfriends, and they all declared bankruptcy within a month.The reason doesn't need to be said by Viola, Kary can guess one or two.It's nothing more than that she doesn't seem to put her mind on her boyfriend at all. Viola is always full of thoughts and refuses to say anything.

Hotch turned his head to look over, then turned back to look at Viola in his arms, and replied, "I thought I would hesitate."

After all, he and Viola have only dated for more than half a year, which is not too long.

There are too many uncertainties in the world, and he once thought that Haley and him would make it to the end, but obviously the reality slapped him hard.

At the beginning, he resisted a new relationship in his heart, and he also denied the bud that rose in his heart.

But he gradually realized that Viola and Haley are two completely different people, and he should not deny the present because of his past failures.

He became tempted to believe that this would have been a completely different ending.

And when Viola suddenly appeared at his door this afternoon, the feeling had never been stronger.

"I think I will." He looked at Kary, his voice firm but gentle.

Kary stared into his eyes and smiled slowly: "That's good."

Hotch gently pushed Viola, who was drowsy, to wake up, and told her to wash up and go back to sleep in the room.Even though the fireplace was lit, I would still catch a cold if I fell asleep in the reception room on such a cold day.

Viola said goodnight to Kary before leaving with Hotch.

After returning to her room to wash up, she was a little sober. Seeing that she was all done, Hotch got up from the sofa and walked over.

"I'm going to the next room, you have a good rest." He instructed softly.

Viola raised her eyebrows and asked, "The next room?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

She took a few steps forward and got very close. Hotch was afraid that she would lose her footing suddenly, so he could only take a few steps back.

As a result, after going forward and back several times, Viola forced the man to the bedside.

The next second, Hotch felt himself nudged and sank into the soft bed.

With some weight on his body, Viola put her hands on his chest and straddled him.

"I think you'd be more willing to stay?" She squinted her eyes, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Hotch sighed softly, and the next moment, the positions of the two were reversed.
