You and Aryan have been working together on a secretive project for months, a connection growing between you despite the professional boundaries. One evening, after a particularly intense discussion, Aryan invited you to his apartment to continue working on the project. ______________________________________ As you both sit in the dimly lit living room, the air charged with unspoken tension, Aryan finally turns to you. “I’ve been wanting to tell you something,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

You look at him , your heart racing “What is it?”

Alex takes a deep breath, their gaze locked onto yours ** “I don’t just want to work with you. I want more.”

Before you can respond, Alex leans in closer. “But if this is a mistake,” they whisper, “let’s make it together.”
