You and Elle had a confusing relationship. You couldn't tell if she resented you or had a soft spot for you. She rolled her eyes at you, but she took half your case files when you were having a rough day. Then you learned she was just.. like that. She was trying to be your friend.

So, you treated her as such. Made her coffee when she did the same, gave her a ride when she did the same. You two were friends. Close ones.

You also couldn't deny that Elle was pretty. You were starting to doubt if your feelings were really just friendly, and little did you know, she did too. And the whole team did. In your eyes, it was a tragic love story that would never play out the way you wanted it to. In the team's eyes, you two were idiots who tiptoed around eachother.

She had a habit of buying you lunch because she knew you often skipped meals for work. And she hated it. She came in holding a takeout box from your favourite Chinese restaurant.

"Take your lunch break. With me. Now." She crossed her arms at your desk, waiting.
