overcome - snippet #5 [countdown to october 3rd]

overcome, chapter one:

She followed him out into the hall and into the main building of Eastern HQ, silently fuming to herself at how unusually silent the walk was.  Their walks across HQ used to be a time to decompress or prepare together, just the two of them. He never made jokes anymore. He never winked, laughed cheekily, slyly said things that he knew would make her lips quirk but her eyes roll in annoyance. He never complained about whoever he had to meet, never made fun of them after the meetings. He wasn't himself. He was just… professional, and so distant.  Sometimes she caught him looking at her from across the office - a mixture of wistfulness and uncertainty clouding his eyes, clearly afflicted, before he realized she was looking at him and smoothed his features back into an unreadable mask.  ‘We need to remain professional.’ Her own voice echoed back at her mockingly in her mind. This was not what she meant - she had wanted their bond to remain strong, unchanged. Perhaps that had been too much to hope for. There had been a bundle of pressure, heavy and painful like a rock sitting in her chest, right where her heart was, ever since she'd walked into work the next morning and he'd been like this - cold and distant and as though she hadn't known him since he was fourteen. A part of her wondered if she'd done the wrong thing that night, but she hadn't - it was her job to protect him, even from doing stupid things. Even if those things had to do with her. She'd thought if she gave him some time, let him lick his wounds and reevaluate, then he'd return to some semblance of normal, that their bond wouldn't suffer. But he hadn't, and it had been over three weeks now. Three dreadfully long weeks.  While they still worked well together, their natural cohesiveness was stilted and awkward now. She hated it, and she missed the way things were before.  It was nearly as bad as when Bradley had transferred her, except she was constantly in the same office as him, and yet a million miles were between them.

accretion [ə-ˈkrē-shən]

Definition: An accidental deposit of “foreign” material that was not part of the painting process, f. ex. dried liquid residue, flyspecks, etc. (from Stella Art Conservation, LLC)

Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job – authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat – hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple.

Hold on, they have to pose as an… engaged couple? For three weeks?!
