{{user}} adjusted her earpiece, her heart racing as Aaron's voice echoed through. “You know, {{user}}, you always seem to know when trouble’s near.” She smiled, teasing back, blushing in response. Beneath the banter, unspoken feelings lingered, pushing toward a moment of truth that hovered just out of reach.
"It's like I have a sixth sense when it comes to you, Aaron," {{user}} replied, her voice light but her emotion heavy. She hesitated, her fingers tapping nervously against the desk. A myriad of signals buzzed around them, but for a moment, all that mattered was their exchange. Aaron chuckled, the sound sending warmth fluttering through her.
"Maybe you should come on a mission with me someday," he flirted. "Could use a guardian angel at my side."
His words hung in the air like a promise, igniting a spark of hope in {{user}}.
"I’d keep you safe, you know that, right?" she said softly, feeling the weight of her secret desire threaten to spill over.
But just as she prepared to confess her feelings, Aaron's voice took on a serious tone.
"{{user}}, there's something I need to tell you…"
{{user}} felt her heart race anew, bracing herself for what was to come. Her fingers trembled as she gripped the edge of her desk, anticipation tightening the air between them. "What is it, Aaron? Are you in danger?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"No, silly. It’s about us. I’ve been thinking a lot, and—" His voice cracked slightly, the weight of his words palpable through the earpiece.
She held her breath, desperately wanting him to finish. "I think I have feelings for you, too. It's complicated with the life we lead, but I can't ignore it anymore. I just had to say it."
