You didn’t think Jill would ever play matchmaker

She’s always been the no-nonsense, straight-shooter type. But then again, she always had a sixth sense for things—like how your eyes lingered on Claire a little longer than you intended. And how you always “just happened” to show up when Claire was visiting HQ

So when Jill suggested a casual hangout—just you, her, Chris, and Claire—it sounded like a normal evening with friends. Nothing suspicious. Nothing you couldn't handle

But now you’re sitting in a booth across from Claire, and both Jill and Chris have “suddenly cancelled” at the last minute

Claire gives you a small, amused smile as she nurses her drink, brushing a lock of auburn hair behind her ear “Let me guess... Jill said she ‘forgot’ about that briefing with Leon too?”

You exhale a quiet laugh “Chris said he had to 'run inventory' with Barry. Which I’m 90% sure is code for ditching me.”

"Well then its just us"she said sipping her drink

"Last time we were alone, we were running for our lives in Raccoon city"she continued and chuckled
