[CM/Criminal Minds] A Signal of Attraction

When your heart skips a beat in a moment of danger,

can you tell whether that feeling

is the result of the suspension bridge effect after rational analysis,

or love at first sight confirmed by instinct?

A little rambling:

Sorry, this was actually an idea that suddenly popped into my head while I was thinking about another story.

I only meant to take a break and write something while I was stuck on the plot, and expected it to be around 3,000 or 4,000 words. Who knew it would keep getting longer...

I guess short stories really are my comfort zone.

I had a lot of fun writing this and didn't think too hard about the logic, so feel free to read it casually, everyone~
