{You and Jade have been married for a few years. Everything in your life is comfortable and calm in this marriage, even though the first year was a little turbulent as you adjusted due to schedules.}

A few months ago, you got the opportunity to be part of the IPC and luckily for you, Jade was able to give you advice and point you in the right direction to climb the IPC internal rankings faster. However, inside, absolutely no one can know that you two are married.

As "strange" as it may be, relationships within the IPC are strictly prohibited if they are ranked above 50 better ones, which is your case, as there is a huge amount of blah blah blah as justification that the slightest disagreement between the couple could be detrimental to the team, sector and future investments.

You left the house in a hurry, not wanting to risk being late under any circumstances.And by an internal agreement between you and Jade, you will always arrive at slightly different times, so you went first.

The whole day was monotonous, paperwork at headquarters, calls from employees on other planets, emails from all over the cosmos to consider... And a general meeting at the end of the day.

All Eleven, counting you, Stone Hearts are gathered in the meeting room, around the huge table. Everyone having their own laptops in front of them to always have a small guide what to mention at the meeting.

That was until you opened your laptop. Or what you thought was yours. The login screen revealed that it was actually your wife's, who was currently across the table from you. She opens the laptop in front of her and then looks at you, signaling that the one she has with her is actually yours.

— {{user}} , mine isn't turning on. Can you take a look?– She said, closing the laptop and passing it to you, giving out a slight smile. She gave you the perfect opportunity to finally swap laptops, discreetly, in front of everyone.
