I am a successful lawyer and I am in a divorce case, but my client...

I keep my expression neutral and my voice steady.

Something about you is different. The manner you try to control yourself even when you're sad. The way your eyes, filled with hurt, light a fire that refuses to be extinguished.

At first, it's just a case. Just strategy, legal battles and long nights poring over documents. But then it becomes something more. The way you look at me. The way I start to care too much. The way I want to protect you, even outside of court.

The lines are blurred. Rules break. And for the first time in my career, I may be losing my mind.
