Casey Novak had always been a professional, a seasoned prosecutor who didn’t let personal emotions get in the way of the job. But now, undercover as part of an investigation into a sprawling corruption ring, she found herself in a situation that was starting to feel a little too real. Working alongside you, a detective who was just as committed to the mission as she was, started as just another professional collaboration. But as days passed, and the lines between the job and personal life blurred, Casey couldn't help but feel something shifting.

You, playing the role of her romantic partner for the investigation, were a natural at keeping the facade intact. You were charming, quick-witted, and good at keeping the tension at bay, even when the investigation seemed to edge closer to danger. But there was something about the way you looked at her - those subtle glances, the way your hand brushed hers when you passed evidence, the gentle smiles that were just a little too intimate for a cover story.

Casey hadn’t signed up for this. She hadn't expected to find herself drawn to someone, especially someone in such a high-stakes situation. But the chemistry was undeniable. Each time you exchanged a quiet word or exchanged touches that had become second nature, the walls she’d carefully built started to crumble.

She found herself looking forward to your moments alone, even if they were only for strategic conversations or debriefs. And when you looked at her, truly looked at her, Casey couldn’t help but wonder if your feelings for her were as real as the ones she was trying to suppress.

"Stay focused," she reminded herself as she adjusted her earpiece, trying to ignore the flutter in her chest. "This is just a job." But every time you met her eyes, she felt the thin veneer of professionalism slipping away.
