two people's agreement

She thought it didn't mean she could do it.

When she received Reed's call, she was just about to walk into her bathroom and enjoy the luxurious life she had earned through various means in that cute little bathtub.

"Spencer, I know, I'm going to Las Vegas as fast as I can. Wait for me, everything will be fine!"

Throwing off her work schedule, Dani heads to Vegas to help Reed's parents with their predicament.even scolded William

By the time she got home, Dani was exhausted, and after twelve hours of intimate contact with her pillow, going out for food was her first choice.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Dani still only made one phone call.

Not long after, the doorbell rang and the food was delivered!

But when Dany opened the door, I have to say, she was a little surprised.

"Hi! I heard Reed said that you came back today and brought you some food." Hodge was holding a food box in his hand, which was exclusively for Song Ji.

"Are you guys going to Song Yining's store?" Dani asked Hodge to come in and sit on the sofa, put the food box on the coffee table, went to the kitchen to pour him a cup of black tea, and took the bowls and chopsticks by herself.

"Yes, I ate it last time and thought it was pretty good, so I went there for a group dinner today." Hodge wanted to chat with her about what happened last time.

Dani opened the food box, and it was full of her favorite food, except chili.Even so, it couldn't make her good mood weaken a bit.

She turned on the TV, sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the coffee table, leaned against the other side of the couch where Hodge was sitting, and watched the news while eating.

It wasn't the first time for Hodge to come to Dani's apartment in recent months. Before that, he was invited to try dishes for her almost every week, and he was already very familiar with her apartment and getting along with this kind of friends.

"I heard that your liaison officer is a student? Are you going to celebrate this today?" Reed also excitedly called her and said that he was a godfather!

"Yes, JJ made Reed the kid's godfather."

"Oh, he called me and said that the child's godmother is your technician Garcia." Dani heard Reed mention BAU team members countless times, thinking about the child's parents and godparents. "This child will definitely not be easy when he grows up!"

Hodge rubbed the top of Dani's hair amusedly. "You know again?"

Dani, who was biting the tip of her chopsticks, turned her head away from his big hand and glanced at him.

"Isn't it?" Dany took Hodge's actions as a disapproval of herself. "I heard from Spencer that the child's mother is an excellent foreign liaison officer, good at public relations and diplomatic affairs, and a great beauty. The child's father is a policeman and is said to be a good man at home. The child's godmother, you The technician Garcia seems to have been a top genius hacker. As for the godfather, he is a genius doctor in Massachusetts. It only took one day to memorize all the pregnant women's instructions, childbirth manuals and other related books in front of me. .”

Dani counted the information she heard from Reed, "With such a strong group of relatives and friends, it is impossible to think simply."

After listening to her counting these things in detail, Hodge noticed that Henry's background was really unusual.

"It seems that Reid will talk about our affairs." There are quite a few, even Garcia said that he was a genius hacker in the past.

Hodge put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her seriously, and slowly said word by word: "I'm curious, what did Reed say about us?"

Dani stopped her chopsticks, turned her head to meet his gaze, and looked at each other for a while.

A burst of laughter came out, the voice was clear and sweet, echoing in the living room, Dany laughed hard.

"I don't understand? What's so ridiculous?" Hodge said innocently.

"Us?" Dani held back her smile, and continued to examine the expression on Hodge's face with raised eyebrows. "Are you sure you're talking about us? Not me?"

Hodge was very confused.

"Did you know? Your expression just now is exactly the same as Jack's expression of stealing snacks." He kept sniffling while speaking, holding back his own laughter, and continued to laugh after speaking.

"I'm glad I entertained you! Miss Walker." Hodge put on a straight face as usual.

"Don't be like this! That expression just now is really cute, it really is a tiger father without a dog, I should take a picture as a souvenir." Dani gradually put away her arrogant laugh.

"So, should I thank you for your compliment? Or should I thank you for Jack?" There was unspeakable dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Hehe, it's just a joke, why take it seriously!" After finishing speaking, he pursed his mouth and continued to eat, his own meal.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

He looked at Dani suspiciously, who would come to the door at this time?

Only then did Dani remember that she ordered takeaway just now, and seeing Song Yining's food box made her forget about it. (Song Yining said that she is very pleased that her food box has such a great charm.) Look into his eyes and answer his question, "It should be the takeaway I ordered just now, help to open the door, the change is on the turtle display by the door inside."

He got up to open the door, and took out change from the mahogany turtle-shaped decoration on the cabinet by the door to the big boy who delivered the food.

After closing the door, he put the M brand takeaway in his hand into the refrigerator, and made two more cups of black tea along the way.

Every time Dani finished her meal, she would have a cup of tea or coffee, which was her habit.

Putting her cup on her right hand, "Here, no sugar and no milk."

"Thank you," Dani said just as she finished eating, she picked it up and took a sip. "Isn't the tea bag good this time?"

"Ah."

"A friend brought it back from Africa," Dani savored the mellow tea aroma. "Compared to the British who add sugar, milk and lemon, I still prefer this original taste."

"It doesn't feel bad." Hodge carefully felt the astringent taste of the original tea leaves, just like what Dani said had a special flavor.

"Why are you so stubborn? Can't you simply say something!?"

"Okay." The wind was light and calm.

"You..." Dani gave him a hard look, and continued to drink her tea with her head down, her gaze staying on the TV news. "Aren't you going to work tomorrow? It's almost ten o'clock."

"I came back too early today, so I can't sleep." Huo Qi usually has to work overtime until nine o'clock before going home. Today is a gathering for dinner, and knowing that she has not been home for five days, I am afraid that she will catch up on sleep. I had no food, so I came back early.

"You are such a hard worker, no matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body." Hearing this, Danni was very speechless. She remembered the community security that she had mentioned to him a few days ago. "How about the security guard I told you about last time?"

"Your profile is very accurate. He has a previous record of voyeurism." Hodge recalled that the relevant information that Garcia had checked at that time was all within Dani's imagination.

"But there is no clear evidence yet. The local police station doesn't like us to intervene in their cases at will. We can only ask our people to pay a little attention. We will be the first to know if there is a problem."

"I'm sorry." Dani was very embarrassed. It was her own guess, and it was not within their purview. "It's hard for you."

"What kind of embarrassment is this?" Her polite words made Hodge a little angry.

"The so-called favor is hard to return. Did Hodge choose BAU because he was tired of those political conflicts?" Danni suddenly felt emotional.

Hodge was shocked when he heard her murmuring words.

"Encountered a problem?"

"The problem that has been solved, but the means..." Dani looked ahead but her eyes were empty. "On the day I stood in court as a lawyer for the first time, I really didn't know that today would happen."

"It's ridiculous! I chose this world where people don't see blood, but now I'm afraid." Dani curled up there with a distressed expression.

Hodge didn't know what to say, especially when the nanny was being killed on TV.The rhetoric cast doubt on the lawyer's position in it.

"I just want to tell you one thing, I'm proud of you." Hodge put his hand on her shoulder lightly, "I know what you have done these years, personal funding of public welfare legal aid, medical insurance company for one year Four class actions, I don't want to count them all."

"The merits and demerits can't be offset, it will only make me look like a hypocritical shell." Instead, Dani chuckled mockingly, and the laughter made people sound so sad. "Alan, I know who I am, really."

Hodge wanted to say something more, but Dany stopped him.

She stood up, pressed her fingers lightly on his lips, bowed her head to look at him, and caressed his cheek with her soft breath.

"I, no, need, need, pity, pity!"

At this moment, they are so close.

Hodge had never seen Dani like this before, the sadness in those bright eyes seemed to melt her whole.That was not the Dany he was familiar with, but it was telling him that this was the real her.

No, he had.

At that evening, the little girl who was only five years old.

Hot streams gushed out of the eyes, and crystal tears slid down the corners of the eyes, and the tear stains were clearly visible in Hodge's eyes.

"I'm sorry." Realizing that she was crying, Dani backed away in a panic, "I want to go to rest, please close the door when you leave."

Hodge watched her leaving back and remained silent.

Dani who ran into the bedroom curled up on the floor next to the bed and hugged the pillow, sucking air through her nose constantly, and opened her eyes wide again and again, not wanting to let tears fall.

No matter what, it couldn't stop the heat surge that had already flooded.One after another ran down the corners of the eyes, across the cheeks, and dripped on the pillow in my arms.

Under the rendering of the night, there is only a silver countdown clock on the wall, the light flickers and the numbers keep jumping.
