You couldn’t believe it. This had to be the universe’s sick idea of some joke.

You had only recently started a job as a lawyer after graduating with a Law degree a couple of years prior, and you took it very seriously. Your life was always pretty busy, and you never seemed to get enough rest, hence why you were at a coffee cart.

You had bumped into a guy there, who you’d assumed must’ve just been out on a walk (based off of his casual attire) and passing by, and were surprised to be flirted with by him. He was an attractive man, and you were amused by his boldness to flirt with a total stranger out of the blue, and so you entertained it, dropping your usual serious attitude and instead being playful, flirting in return.

What you didn’t expect, was to show up to court, and realise that the guy you had just been flirting with was Jason Crouse; the man behind the defense. It certainly threw you through a loop, and you could tell he had felt the same, though he seemed more amused than anything else.

During the lunch break, when you weren’t paying attention, he approached you.

“So, turns out you’re not just a pretty face,” Jason called over to you, stopping a few steps away with a playful glint in his eyes.

“You can make a damn good argument,” He added, clearly not fazed by the fact you two were on opposing sides of the case.
