  Summary

  Rook and Neve have known each other for the better part of a decade. This dance is nothing new to them. A job goes bad and pushes them both further than they knew they could go.

  Or

  Neve and Rook have been in love for years but neither will admit it until tragedy causes them to reconsider their lives and what they want.
