two people's agreement

"Why aren't you real?" Dany stretched out her hand that was still on the drip and caressed the eyes full of love.

Hodge grabbed her hand, pressed it against his cheek, and told her. "I'm here, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, I'm real."

"No, you're just a dream of mine."

The look in her eyes shocked Hodge, and the sadness was indescribable.Hodge felt his heart was about to burst.

He held Dani's right hand tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably. "I'm not a dream! I'm real. I'm here! You look at me, look at me! Dany, I'm not fake."

"Hehe." Dany smiled sadly, "How do you think I know?"

"The you I saw in that world was just a fictional character in a TV series."

Looking into his disbelieving eyes, Dany said the last sentence.

"This world is fictional, it should just be my dream."

Her voice blew up a thunderbolt in Hodge's mind.

He couldn't think.

He could only look at her stupidly.

"I don't believe it!" He resisted Dany's words. "I am real."

"When Hailey named Jack, she jokingly wanted to call him Gideon." Dani mentioned the scenes she saw in the TV series.

"Garcia gave you your resume on homemade pink stationery."

"Rosie once had a son, who died like our daughter, and a first love named Emma, ​​who has passed away."

"Morgan had a cousin named Cindy who disappeared a few years ago."

"As for Reed, he chose you when Tobias asked him to choose one of you." She proved one by one.

"What else do you want to know? I'll tell you everything!" Dani mocked maliciously in her eyes.

Hodge's mind was in chaos.

He let go of Dani, and collapsed on the sofa beside him with a dazed expression.

"Emily is leaving BAU soon, she's going to Interpol in the UK. You're going to have a new member of your team called Blake. Your boss Erin will be dead in a year. That's all I can think of at the moment .”

"Oh! By the way! And Reed, isn't he suffering from psychogenic headaches? This will allow him to meet a geneticist, a girl who can communicate with him sincerely, her name is Maeve. Tell him for me that I like that girl very much, let him act quickly, otherwise Maeve will be abducted."

Abducted by death.

Dany thought of the grief of her beloved brother after Maeve's death.She couldn't bear it so much, she left a letter to Li Yunhao in advance, hoping to redeem that tragedy.

Hodge thought for a long time in silence, trying to sort out his thoughts.

He stared at Dany's face, but found that he didn't care about these, what was real or unreal.

"Even if I'm really just your dream, then I'll keep you in your dream!"

Dany looked at him in shock.

"Even if we are not real, we have lived here for so many years, it is real. You will live happily with me in this dream until we are old. After I die, you can wake up from the dream and return to to your truth."

"I need you here. You say it's a dream, and I'll weave it into your happiest dream. As long as I'm here, I won't let you go back."

Hodge knelt by her bed and made his promise.

Seeing this face that had been in her heart for many years made a promise for a lifetime in front of her, Dani's heart was irresistibly shaken.

The picture that she had dreamed countless times was presented in front of her eyes.

The love she had once been out of reach is now in front of her.

She cried, looking at this charming dream, hoping that time would end at this moment.

Regardless of the future or the past, at least at this moment she is happy, and she has obtained her lifelong obsession.

She knew Alan Hotchner, he was a brave and upright person, he never made promises lightly, and he would try his best to fulfill the promises he made.

In fact, she saw that the big man who had always been strong and stubborn, begged her forgiveness sadly in front of her.

At this moment, Dani had already begun to hesitate.

She never blamed him, what happened was the inevitable result.Just like her daughter, no matter how hard she tried, she lost it in the end.

He will definitely bear all the responsibilities himself, but he doesn't know that there are some things that he can't help others to bear.

When the nurse came in to make rounds to change the drip bottle, she saw these two sad people, silent to each other.The man is always staring at the woman's face lovingly, but the woman is looking at the roof in a trance, not knowing what she is thinking.

Dani stayed in the hospital for three full days, and Hodge took care of her by her side for three days, just like in the hospital before.

The only difference is that Dani's attitude towards him has obviously loosened, and she is no longer silent as before.

This may also be because Hodge can't speak Chinese. Sometimes the doctor's explanation must be translated to him by Dani.

After being discharged from the hospital, the first thing Dani did was to buy furniture to fill her former home.

Hodge silently cleaned up the blood on the ground before the workers arrived.After that, I accompanied her to wander around the furniture city, pick and choose, and then brought her back to that room.

Dany made that room as much as she could remember home, and made it seem like it was her home.

Then during the day they took various buses back and forth in the city, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

Sometimes, she would point to a place and tell him what she had done here, what storefront had what history, what street used to be used for.

If he didn't believe what Dany said before, he couldn't help not believing it now.

She really knows the city too well.

He seemed to see traces of her growth here, from birth to adulthood.

And her family and friends really don't exist in this world.

Her, husband, when Hodge thought of these two terms, he felt as uncomfortable as a fishbone.

Will she miss him?

He suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Dani in his arms, feeling her warm body, warming his condensed heart.

At night, he would hug her and cry in his arms until he fell asleep from exhaustion.

He earnestly carried out his promise, and every time Dani showed that yearning hazy expression, he would use various methods to let her know his existence.

Hodge couldn't remember how many times he held her palm tightly, held her tightly in his arms, confirmed her existence time and time again, and told her his own existence.

This kind of peaceful life made Hodge feel in a trance, as if he and Dani were going on like this, without pain or noise, just the two of them, quietly watching the time go away.

In fourteen days, Dani took him to travel all over the streets and alleys of the city.

After [-] days, the wounds on her hands were scabbed and the stitches were removed.

Then, when Dany packed her bags in silence in front of him.Hodge embraced her excitedly, expressing his gratitude, and refused to let go for a long time.

"I promise you, I'll always be here."

When they left the city at last, Dany was sleeping soundly on his shoulder with her eyes closed, but he felt the damp heat seeping through the fabric.

He hugged her tightly, giving her the comfort he could give her.

Returning to BJ this time, Danni did not leave directly, but began to leave her footprints in this ancient and modern city.

It was as if on that train, she shed all her nostalgia for her homeland.

Dani told him this word. She said that every adult is born with this kind of feeling. When they are wandering outside, their roots are still tightly tied to their homeland.

She is also a woman, and she will always miss everything in this land.

They walked side by side in the streets of BJ, walked through the long corridors of the Forbidden City, visited the National Museum, and even took an hour's bus to find a museum outside the Fifth Ring Road.

It was only later that Hodge found out that the place Dani and her friends had agreed to go to during their 17-year-old summer vacation. They made an appointment, but Dani did not keep the appointment.

She went where they went by herself, as if they had gone together.

"Danny, shall we all come back here for the New Year?" he said to her on the way back.

Tears gushed out of her again as she answered him.

"I didn't say that to make you cry. I hope you don't cry so much in the future. After we go back, I will tell Hope that her mother is a crybaby." Hodge looked at her tearful eyes and felt very sad. I can't bear it, she has cried too much recently, the red blood in her eyes has never gone down.

"Why did you call her Hope?" Dany recalled the questions she had always had.

"She is the hope in our hearts and will never disappear." Hodge recalled his grief at that time, as if reappearing in front of his eyes.

"You must have named her too, what do you call her?" If Dani hadn't been sleeping these two years, she would definitely have done so.

"Yu Xi." Dani said these two Chinese characters. "So the surname, Xi is Hope, and Hope is Hope."

The woman in front of her had experienced so many hardships and pains, and for the first time she showed a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart.Hodge couldn't help but shed tears because of being moved, and leaned over to kiss her affectionately on her upwardly angled lips.

"Having you is the miracle of my life."
