After spending weeks working closely together, the chemistry between you and Emily has become undeniable. Her quick wit, sharp intelligence, and easygoing demeanor have drawn you in more than you care to admit. But today, as you walk into the bullpen, you catch sight of her laughing with a fellow agent, a genuine, carefree laugh that makes your heart skip a beat.
You pause for a moment, watching the interaction, and a small pang of jealousy stirs deep inside you. Itโs not the laughter itself - itโs the ease with which she shares it with someone else. Itโs a reaction that you canโt quite explain, but itโs there, simmering beneath the surface.
Your gaze lingers a moment too long, and suddenly, Emily looks up, her eyes meeting yours. The playful smirk that spreads across her face is all too familiar, as if sheโs caught you in the act. The smirk grows, a silent challenge in her expression, and itโs clear she knows exactly what youโre feeling. She leans back in her chair, her arms crossed, and raises an eyebrow.
โJealous much?โ she teases, her voice light but laced with amusement.
