“I don’t…I don’t know if I’m doing this right.”
He tilted his head. “Doing what right?” he asked.
“I’m not his mother,” she said. “I don’t know how to be a mother. What if I’m making things worse for him?”
James squeezed her shoulder. “Hey, hey, you’re doing great,” he said. “Listen, he’s going through a lot of shit. Probably went through a lot of shit before he got here. He trusts you, and that’s important. I think that’s what he needs right now, people he can trust, like you and Hotch.”
“You think so?”
“I do.”
James smiled at her, the corners of his eyes crinkling up. “You’re the best,” he said.
Alex looked up at his clear blue gray eyes, and then realized she was gazing a little too intently and a little too long without saying something. “I try,” she said, looking away quickly. “I…um, I’m going to get ready for bed. I don’t want to leave Spencer alone for too long.”
“Yeah, of course,” James said. He squeezed her shoulder lightly and dropped his hand. “G’night.”
“Goodnight,” she echoed, and then she hurried into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. It had been a long weekend, and she was tired, and she shouldn’t let her thoughts run away from her like that.
