    Summary

    What happens when you fall for someone you aren't allowed to contact outside of a government sanctioned environment?

    Congressman Barnes loves his job. For the most part. He feels like he's at least making a small difference one vote and one bill at a time. The one thing he hates? Reading the painfully boring and soul-sucking legislative paperwork he's currently drowning in.

    You're an ex-SHIELD agent who moved to the big city with a dream of becoming an actress. That quickly became reduced to last-minute bartending jobs and voiceover work just to barely pay the bills. Until a confidential job offer lands in your inbox.

    There are rules of course. No names. No contact except via a secure server. And absolutely, under no circumstances, any kind of emotional entanglement.
