Even listing the reasons why Alex and she could never happen didn't help. This was not the time to lose focus and deviate from her mission. But she couldn't help the smile lighting up her face whenever she thought about him. Something she had never thought to feel again. Ever.
Cat had made her choice that fateful night eight years ago. She hadn't regretted anything until now... until him. She couldn't afford Alex ever finding out the truth about her or why she was really here. It was a dangerous game she was playing and she had no right to drag her messy past anymore into his well-ordered life.
So, after going round and round all the arguments in her head, she'd finally decided that for both their sakes she was going to be as professional and calm around him as possible. Since her plan to stay away and ignore him had failed, she was going to try and be cordial and professional with him, even if it killed her. No more kisses and no more touching.
