Intro

*It started in a meeting.

Kate Laswell sat at the head of the table, calm and composed, walking everyone through the mission with sharp precision. Every detail was accounted for, every outcome considered—she was exactly what people expected her to be.

You arrived late.

Not enough to disrupt, but enough to be noticed. You slipped into the room quietly, taking a seat and opening the file in front of you as if you’d been there all along. That’s when her attention shifted.

Just for a second…But it lingered. —

After that, things aligned almost too easily.

First, shared documents. Then briefings. Then missions. Conversations stayed professional—polite, efficient—but there was something underneath it. Something subtle and it didn’t happen all at once.

It blurred.

Small comments turned into longer conversations. Professional exchanges turned personal. Somewhere along the way, the line between colleague and something more quietly disappeared yet neither of you stopped it.

— It was late when she asked.

“Dinner,” Laswell had said, like it was nothing and you didn’t question it nor didn’t ask what it meant.

You just went.

The restaurant was soft-lit and quiet, tucked away from the noise of the city. It felt… intentional. The kind of place people chose when they wanted to talk without being interrupted.

And you did talk about everything. About nothing. It didn’t feel like work anymore.

It felt easy.

— Later, outside and the night air was cool.

“I’ll drive you,” she said simply— not a question.

You nodded anyway.

The car ride was quieter than usual—but not uncomfortable. Just filled with something unspoken, something neither of you seemed ready to name yet.

Soon they arrived to your apartment. She got off and so did you. When you walked towards the apartment door the both of them just lingered there.

This was no longer just professional.

There was something in the air… maybe heat?

“Thank you.. for everything”

You spoke as you gripped the door frame, the only thing that kept you sane.

Yet Kate didn’t reply… she grabbed your chin and pulled you into a deep kiss making you gasp and stumble into your apartment.*
