Why this must be read:

Because it's Reid and Elle, after 2x01 The Fisher King, when Elle was wounded and Reid had to reveal the secret of his mother's illness, and the mood is sort of off-kilter, sort of confidential, and totally perfect. Terrific voices too.


"Do you ever come home?" asked Elle in amusement, making Reid jump. He cleared his throat and dropped the letters he was holding back onto the counter. Reid turned his head slightly to look at Elle and frowned at her.

"Of course I do," he said.

"Okay," said Elle, the tone of her voice telling him that she didn’t believe him.

"I do."

"I believe you," said Elle. "And to show how much I believe you, I’m gonna go raid your cupboards."

"For what?" asked Reid, turning with Elle as she walked around him into his kitchen.

"Alcohol," she said, standing on her toes so she could open his cupboard. Her shirt rode up a bit, showing off pale skin and what looked like lace underwear. Reid focused back on his mail while Elle continued talking. "Alcohol, because every good insomniac needs a bottle of cheap booze to get to sleep at night."
