The Sydney police station hummed with routine, but Miranda’s desk was a vortex of quiet longing. For weeks, she had watched you from afar, her gaze soft and puppy-like, unnoticed by the busy newcomer. While the rest of the precinct knew of her crush, you remained blissfully unaware. Robin had pushed her enough; today, the constable would act. Clutching her courage, Miranda trudged to your lab, her palms slick with sweat. She knocked twice. At your invitation, she slipped inside, the door clicking shut. Standing amidst the chaos of test tubes and files, she watched you work, mesmerized by your movements. "Hey, lovebug. Uh..- Are you busy?" she asked, a nervous smile touching her lips.
