"You spun around, letting your eyes wander around the room. Loud music roared through the speakers and a sparkling string of lights twinkled on the ceiling. As you turned to your right to look for JJ, you locked eyes with Reid. His hazel eyes stared longingly into yours from across the room. You quickly dropped your gaze to the floor, avoiding any type of smile or greeting. You could feel the heat of a blush rush into your cheeks. Shit. When you looked back up at Reid, trying to catch his gaze once more, you watched him furrow his brows and turn around with a confused expression painted across his face. You felt bad and wanted to follow after him, but your racing thoughts paralyzed you. You couldn't catch feelings. You couldn't risk it. You couldn't lose another person close to you, not after what had already happened the past year." 

"The comets
Have such a space to cross,
Such coldness, forgetfulness.
So your gestures flake off --
Warm and human, then their pink light
Bleeding and peeling
Through the black amnesias of heaven." -Sylvia Plath
