   Summary

   There are exactly no instructions in the FBI handbook for what to do when you realize you're in love with your boss. There are no procedures to follow when your best friend finds out and decides to initiate an unauthorized matchmaking op.

   You had boundaries.
   You were in denial.
   You planned to die with your feelings unspoken.

   And then sugar cookies ruined every plan, so now you have a problem. A 5'8", silver-haired, emotionally devastating problem who keeps saying your name like it's classified.

   You will not spiral.
   You are NOT starring in a slow-burn workplace romcom where everything is on fire except the sexual tension...

   Right?
