Summary
"You know, if half our coworkers weren't here and on their way to all being blackout drunk, this would almost feel like a date."
Karadec freezes.
It's not the sort of freeze that some passerby would notice, it's subtle, but Morgan can tell. His hand hovers over the table for a fraction of a second too long, and his jaw tightens.
"It's not," he says tightly.
Morgan giggles. "Obviously."

Summary
"You had this planned, didn't you?" He turns back to Morgan who shakes her head in defense.
"It sounds like something they would have come up with." Morgan points at Oz and Daphne, who had appeared by his side once again.
"Come on Karadec, it's tradition." Daphne taunts. "We know how set on tradition you are."

Summary
Karedec runs a hand through his hair, a sigh wracking his body. "You know, for the most brilliant woman I have ever met, it's actually surprising to me that you haven't figured this out."
Morgan smirks, a coy sparkle in her eyes. "I never said that I didn't have it figured out, I said that I wanted you to tell me." She drops her other hand from the door and gives him her full attention.
"Uh huh. So you have this all wrapped in a tight little bow? Exactly what I'm thinking right now?"
Morgan shrugs. "More or less, but I won't know for certain until you tell me. Either that or we can just stand here on my porch all night but I'm sure you're freezing by now and— have I mentioned that I am really hungry?" She's looking back up at him now, a brilliant blue in her eyes that he never saw anywhere else.
A light chuckle escapes Karadec as he relaxes a little. "Morgan, you astound me. You know that?"

Summary
It was supposed to be a simple undercover mission: get in and get out, that’s what they had planned.
That's what her mind had set out for, not the clash of fantasy with real life. A clash that had her delving into feelings she’d prefer to stay hidden, feelings that came with a new roommate and a gold band shining from her finger.
