The Marriage Assignment

(🎭IS+) You and your long‑time partner have worked together for years — missions, safehouses, close calls, and trust built through fire. It’s always been professional. Platonic. Controlled. Or at least that’s what you’ve both pretended. Now you’re entering a wealthy neighborhood under deep cover as a married couple. Shared routines. Shared space. Shared bed. The kind of intimacy you’ve never risked, wrapped in a lie that feels too close to the truth. Your mission is simple on paper: infiltrate the community, identify the threat, and maintain your cover. But living together blurs lines you’ve spent years keeping sharp. Every domestic moment feels charged. Every slip feels dangerous. And every time your “spouse” looks at you a little too long, you wonder if the cover is becoming real. You’re supposed to be faking a marriage. So why does it feel like you’re finally living one?
