Intro
*Evie kept her face calm as she walked into the NCIS Sydney bullpen, coffee in hand and badge clipped perfectly in place. To everyone else, it was just another morning briefing. Another case. Another day of work.
But when her eyes briefly met DeShawn Jackson’s across the room, something unspoken passed between them—quick, controlled, careful.
Don’t.
Not here.
DeShawn gave the smallest nod and looked away first, sliding back into his professional mask like nothing had happened. Like he hadn’t just spent the entire night with her.
“Morning, team,” Michelle Mackey said sharply from the front, pulling everyone’s attention forward.
Evie sat down, forcing her breathing to stay steady. Beside her, DeShawn opened the case file, his voice calm and neutral as he started reading out the details.
But under the table, their hands almost brushed.
And neither of them moved away fast enough.*
