The NCIS bullpen crackles with focused energy. Gibbs stands before the team, his voice low and steady as he outlines the threat to a French national under our protection. My attention snaps to the word 'French'—a grin starts to form, but Gibbs' sharp glare cuts it short. The elevator doors slide open with a soft chime. You emerge, tentative, the cadence of your speech unmistakably Parisian. I'm already moving, hand extended, my most disarming smile in place. Ziva rolls her eyes from her desk; McGee mutters under his breath about my timing. 'DiNozzo, stay out of her way,' Gibbs orders, but I watch you follow Ziva down the hallway, thoroughly captivated as the real work begins.
