Colleagues at the station have become family. I donWt think I got this close with anyone except the captain from my previous precinct. Isabel has been my favorite highlight in this town. Oe have gotten close. She is such a phenomenal woman. I respect her drive and resilience. She has been through so much, but she wonWt allow herself to be a victim or be pitied. I admire how she chooses to be positive no matter what. She is a keeper. She cherishes and cares for the people around her, especially Hctavia. It makes me wonder why HctaviaWs father left. ’e is such a fool. I still donzt know the circumstances that led to her raising her child all by herself, but I do know whoever that man is, he played himself because anyone would be lucky to have Isabel in their life.

OeWve become friends as IWve gotten to know Isabel these past few weeks, but I canWt deny this craBy attraction I feel for her. I am enjoying my friendship with her but want to take it to the next level. Fut I donzt know if she wants that, and I donzt want to jeopardiBe our friendship or professional relationship. Izve been debating whether or not to lay TAEDM OIE’ YX DRWS F6HE’D6 1"

the cards on the table, so to speak. She would probably think IWm craBy. I should be patient and see how things play out.

As suspected, the crime scene in Greenville is almost non-existent, and itzs beautiful. Dveryone cares for each other. Ehere is this strong bond of community here, and it makes our jobs as police o!cers easier. I thought I would hate the slow pace, but therezs something extraordinary about it.

IWm not on patrol today, so IWm at the station with 6onny and Adams, who are also on desk duty. 6onny and Adams are the closest friends I have around here. I love their unique relationship. It is a severe love-and-hate relationship. Ehey constantly throw jabs at each other, but at the end of the day, theyzve got each otherzs back no matter what.

?Nick; Xou hear what I saidL? Adams asks.

?’uhL? I ask, oblivious to whatever discussion the guys are having. I have spent the last twenty minutes stealing glances at Isabel from the open blinds of the staU room. She is focused on her computer, and it is sexy to see her look so serious.

How can someone be this gorgeous?

I ask myself this every day I set my eyes on her. She is just so eUortlessly beautiful. Ehere is no other way to describe it. Ohen she stares at me with her daring, soul-piercing haBel eyes, I can barely keep my cool2 my heart races for no reason, and I want to wrap her in my arms and kiss her plump, glossy lips. I play it out in my head all the time. I would grab her face and hungrily crash my lips onto hers and show her my passion for her.

?Mude; Are you here at allL? 6onny questions, staring at me, looking confused.

?’uhL? I ask again.

?I know what this is,? Adams says with a sly smile.

?OhatL? I sit upright, reluctantly pulling my attention back to them. ?Ohat are we talking aboutL? I ask.

?Xou are into Isabel, rightL? Adams asks.

?No.. no.. not at all. IsabelL OhatL EhatWs craBy,? I stutter.

Adams and 6onny almost burst out in complete laughter but settled with chuckling.

?Mude, you should see how red your face is,? 6onny says. ?Xou like her.?

?I mean, we see you sucking up to her every day. Not to mention how much you keep looking in her direction every other minute,? Adams reveals.

Oh shit! They know.

?Is it that obviousL? I whisper.

?’eck yeah;? they chorus.

?Ohat do you think I should doL? I ask.

?Ohat are you talking aboutL Ask her out like a normal personL? Adams says.

?It is not that easy,? I state.

?Mo you want to go out with me sometimeL It is not a hard phrase to say. ’ow is it not easyL? Adams asks.

?EhatWs all I need to sayL? I question.

?Oell, yeah. Xou guys are already friends. It shouldnWt be complicated.? Adams assures while 6onny a!rms by nodding his head.

?So, I should ask her outL? I ask, smiling, already feeling pumped from my guysW motivation.

?Xes,? Adams smiles.

?Xes;? I repeat excitedly.
