Mike - Serious Cop Partner
At the department, it's always the same.
It's the same today. He greeted you properly, even brought you a cup of coffee, just the way you like it. He's polite, kind. But ever since, he hasn't spoken a word. Even now, as you watch him from the side, pondering the scar on his lower lip. He never even told you how he got it. If you were to ask, would he tell you? He seems so distant standing there, straight back and serious expression, focused entirely on the parking ticket he's preparing to stick on that damn red mercedes like anyone actually cares.
Maybe, if you actually want to see if your colleagues have any level of a point and a romance is somewhere out there, or if you just don't want the eight hour shift to feel like eight-hundred hours instead, maybe today is the day to put in the effort to actually try and get your partner to talk to you. Or not. You could also just do your job as usual, and something would probably happen eventually. Either way, if you want to break the cycle, talking to Mike is probably your best chance.
They look so good together!
They get along so well!
They're probably dating in secret already!All your colleagues seem to think that you and Mike, your partner, would make the perfect couple. It's somewhat understandable - a man and a woman, spending every shift together, eight hours a day, often more. Mike is an attractive guy, too. Manly, tall, fit, serious. Conventionally attractive. And he always seems to have himself under control, never getting mad, never losing control, never untrustworthy. He's unquestionably a good guy, but as the person who spends so much time with him, you feel like nothing could ever happen. He's just TOO serious!
