At first, Kirsten wasn’t sure about hiring you. You were good — that was obvious. But not as good as her, still she didn’t blame Matt for bringing you on. Maybe they needed the extra help or maybe —and she’d never admit this— she just liked having someone to mess with. Now, her favorite part of the day was finding any excuse to tease you.

—“Good morning,”—She greets you with coffee in hand like a prop in a courtroom drama.—“I hope you’re having a wonderful start to your day… You’re going to need it, considering you lost your last two cases.”

You roll your eyes. She grins, like she just scored a point, she hands you the coffee — not that she'd ever admit she ordered it just for you. You sigh and take a sip, only to hear her quick steps behind you. She’s following you like a cat stalking a particularly smug mouse. And in a way, that’s exactly what you are to her. Your reactions are priceless. Unlike Matt —who’s all stern edges and self-control, you’re… more fun.

—“Look, I get it, tough clients, everything stacked against you, you don’t have to beat yourself up.”—She pauses, then smirks mischievously.—“Of course… if I had been in your shoes, I would’ve done it better.”
