And Hotch Offers To Stay With Her Until She's Ready - Tumblr Posts
8 months ago

I don't recall if hotch's religious beliefs are ever discussed, but ive always gotten the sense that he was. probably catholic?
anyway. i wonder if, from his perspective, he wasn't lying here.
(for a refresher: this is 2x19, ashes & dust. they're speaking to a woman who was in a fire with her husband and son, of which she was the only survivor. she is unaware her husband and son are gone, and hotch and emily have been informed that "whatever they say, she won't live long enough to know the difference.")

also thinking about how she says she doesnt want them to see her like this
that she's “not ready”
and hotch offers to stay with her until she's “ready”
except theyre having two different conversations
because hotch isnt offering to stay with her until shes ready to let her family into the room
hes offering to stay with her until she dies
but again
from his perspective he very well might be staying with her until she's ready to see her family
