two people's agreement

"Triathlon?"

"Well, it's in the Bureau." Facing Dani's question, Hodge replied, with some complicated things mixed in her expression.

"Are you going to start training soon?"

He nodded again, quietly paying attention to the micro-expression on Dani's face, trying to find out the reason for her strange look.

"Oh." Dany just responded to him indifferently. "If you want to start training, I'll pick Jack up and down from school."

Hailey is preparing for her wedding recently, and then she will go to Hawaii for her honeymoon, and Jack has been taken care of by them recently.

"Thank you." He kissed her lightly on the lips. "You've worked hard recently."

After Dani realized that he had just kissed her, she immediately turned around and looked at the group of people who were laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

Some even whistled teasingly.

She feigned anger and stared at each of them with fierce eyes.

She is a new employee who is afraid of chaos in the world.

"Can't you take a look at the occasion?" Turning around, she glared at Hodge who was smiling.

"I'm just trying to show some people ownership." I've heard of some bad guys out there lately.

Although Danni's store is just a coffee shop, she also provides some light meals accordingly, and the business is very good.

It's close to their headquarters, and many of those evil-minded guys are his colleagues.

Seeing his jealous expression, Dani couldn't help but also leaned forward and gave him a light kiss.

Then she leaned on his shoulder, preventing him from seeing her proud expression.

Hodge hugged her tenderly, just the two of them in their world.

The unease in Dani's heart was soothed by him.

Yeah, the current Hodge, not the one from Criminal Minds.

He is not alone, he has her.

In fact, when Dani chose to return with Hodge, she had already thrown away her armor.

No woman can resolutely withdraw from the sincere confession of the man she loves.

She gave up the pride in her heart.

In this love, she failed miserably.

If death is the fact that she failed to escape from Danielle Walker, then choosing to stay is another kind of escape for her, escaping the fact that she is no longer Yu Pu forever.

her husband.She found that she could face the fact of his cheating calmly, and even pretended not to know and continued on.

Sure enough, there is no harm if you don't care.

If those five years of marriage taught her anything, it was definitely that no matter how she lived in this life, she could not escape the shadow brought to her by that virtual character of Alan Hochner.

She can't get out no matter what.

To fulfill all of Yu Pu's wishes is not essentially to cut himself off from that world.

Since the day Yu Pu was 17 years old, she has been gone.

But even if Danielle Walker comes back now, so what!

There are still many things between her and Hodge, his Hope, Hayley, and even Jack.Then there's Hodge's work.

Coupled with the long-term living next to Hodge, Dani's treatment of Hodge has taken on another look.

It is impossible for them to be together directly just because they have opened their hearts to each other and become a couple that others envy.

However, Dani is also slowly accepting that this Hodge is different from before.

The gap between them was slowly disappearing, and Hodge saw it gradually collapse.

"Ellen."

"Hmm." Although Hodge didn't show it on the surface, he was infinitely moved by the sudden change of title.

"I'm very scared. Being able to be with you like this is like a dream, and I will wake up right away."

"It's okay, I'm still here, always." Hodge held her hand tightly. "do not be afraid."

"Dani, this weekend, I want to formally introduce you to my team members." Hodge suddenly proposed his idea.

Although everyone in BAU knew about his relationship with Dani, especially Reed, he still wanted to make it official.

"Okay." Dany said with a smile on her face. "Let's take Jack with us, let JJ take Henry, Garcia take Kevin, have a big BAU all-hands party, just help Reed re-live the 30th birthday I missed. As for the place?"

Calculation flashed in Dany's eyes.

"I wonder if Uncle Rossi, who is said to only own a mansion, will lend it to me to play?"

"I think he will be very happy," Hodge knew what she was talking about, "but I don't think he would like to hear the word uncle."

"I've always called it that way before." Dany pretended not to know.

"What do you want me and Reed to do?"

Hodge recalled the image of himself and Reed calling Uncle Rossi, which made him very helpless.

"Salad!" said Dany amusedly. "

At this time, the mobile phone he placed in front of him vibrated on the desktop, and the content of the text message was displayed on the screen.

He has to go.

"Dear Agent Hotchner, it's time for you to save the world." Seeing Garcia's call, Dani got up from Hodge's arms and pushed him to work.

"Then pay attention, don't tire yourself out, and don't play with Jack until late at night..." Hodge explained earnestly.When he left, he still didn't forget to give her another tender farewell kiss.

Watching him drive away, when she turned around, Dani saw the waiters and the store manager in the store staring at her teasingly as if watching a good show.

"What are you looking at?" Dani asked coquettishly, a blush flashed across her face.

"Looking at the sweet lunch break between the two of you, the warm atmosphere just now made me want to find a boyfriend." Judy, the store manager hired by Dani, complained pretendingly.

Dani, who was thick-skinned but not her, sat back to the position just now in the eyes of everyone. She asked the clerk to give her another cup of black tea, and sat there quietly picking up the book she had put aside.

Some customers who were having afternoon tea in the store couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Hodge returned to the office and was preparing to go to the conference room. Standing on the second floor, he looked at Reed and Emily who were chatting downstairs.

A question popped into his mind.

When Rossi came out of the office, he saw him thinking there, and he didn't look particularly serious.

Aware of Rosie's attention, Hodge stopped his contemplation. "We should go to a meeting."

This time the case was full of violence and blood, their victims were brutally beaten to death, and the scene was horrific.

They rushed to Philadelphia to save what might be the next victim.

This time their unknown suspects did not deliberately hide their identities, and they quickly found the father who was suffering because of the relapse of his son's leukemia.

Hodge came to his dying son with his scarred body.

Ryan was dying.

The boxer who taught his son to fight bravely in the face of illness and never give up, told his son as a father at the last moment of his life that letting go does not mean you lost, but that you should let go.

[Some people think that perseverance is strong, but sometimes letting go is strong. ——Hermann Hesse]

Hodge and the others came back the next day. He had already mentioned the weekend to Rossi, and Rossi expressed his strong support for the first time.

"I thought I'd have to wait until after you retired before I heard you say this to me. When will you prepare for the wedding?"

"Let's wait until the wedding." Hodge thought that it would not be easy for Dani to let go of her defenses, and they still had some troubles.

Seeing his helpless look, Rossi also sighed. "I'll make arrangements on Saturday."

"Thank you."

When Hodge came home, he went straight into Dani's apartment, where two people, one big and one small, were reading a storybook together on the bed.

What Dani prepared for him was not ordinary children's stories, but the Lord of the Rings series. She said that the Lord of the Rings series was originally a fairy tale written by Tolkien for children. Seeing the thick book like a brick, Hodge felt a little helpless .

But Jack listened with great interest.

As soon as he saw his father was back, Jack jumped out of bed excitedly and rushed to him to hug.

"You're back." Dany also got out of bed and walked over. "What do you want to eat? There are still wontons I made with Jack, and I'll cook them for you?"

"Well, okay." Hodge nodded, "I want to try Jack's wontons, will they be better than yours?"

"Dad, Auntie Dani also taught me how to make dumplings. Let's do it together next time." Jack leaned on Hodge's shoulder and said to his father, his soft voice made people feel warm.

"Okay, let's go together next time." Hodge hugged his son's small body tightly, "Shall we go to Rossi's house tonight?"

Dani looked back at the father and son fighting, "Rosie agreed?"

"Well, let's go over tonight." Hodge walked over with Jack in his arms and sat down at the dining table. "He'll get everything ready."

"Dad, are Henry and Reed going today?" Jack heard that someone could play with him tonight.

"Of course, they all go. You can ask Reed and Henry to play football with you tonight." Hodge knew Jack's little thoughts. Since Reed played football with him last time, Jack has been wanting to watch it See if Reed has regressed.

"OK!" Jack exclaimed happily.

Dani put the finished wontons in front of Hodge. "Jack, I still have some biscuits here, do you want to eat with Dad?"

"Danny, let's go buy Reid a birthday gift later?" Hodge said to the two sitting on the sofa.

Dany stared into his sincere eyes speechlessly.

"Dad, I went shopping with Dani yesterday." Jack interrupted at this time. "I picked out a football for Reed, and he'll be able to play with me that day!"

"Have you bought my share?"

"Well, with your character, I bought him a copy." Dani had a humorous smile on her face, and it seemed that there was something inside. "It's just that you won't find out until night."

"Right, Jack? We won't tell Dad." Dany asked Jack deliberately.

"Yeah." Jack nodded with a smile, looking like he wanted to watch his father play.

Huo Qi looked at the big and small with relief, and was very moved in his heart. The warm smile finally came back to her face.

As for the surprise, we'll wait until the evening to reveal it.
