"She slipped again."

Ikshit tossed the folder onto her table. His voice was low, tight. "Atasha Rabari. Left the safehouse minutes before we reached. Almost like... someone warned her."

Piya didn't flinch. She poured him coffee with a calm he didn't question.

"Maybe she's lucky," she said.

He stepped closer.

"No. It's not luck. She moves like someone's guiding her."

A beat.

"Or protecting her."

Her phone buzzed in her pocket - one vibration.
Atasha was safe.

Piya looked up at him. His eyes were on her - sharp, searching.

"Then maybe you need to stop thinking like a cop..." She smiled softly. "...and start thinking like a woman who has nothing left to lose."

Their eyes locked.
Long. Quiet. Dangerous.

Ikshit stepped closer - invading her space. Testing something he couldn't name.

"And what kind of woman are you, Piya?" His voice dropped to a murmur.

She didn't back away.

"The kind who hides the truth behind a kiss," she whispered, kissing him.

And when he kissed her - hard, desperate, confused.

She was kissing him back.

Knowing full well...
He was chasing her best friend.
While falling in love with the enemy.
