((I don't think I've posted a full teaser for this before?? I can't remember?))
Shaw shifted uncomfortably on her chair, wanting desperately to rip off the blindfold covering her eyes.
"Just relax." Root’s voice said smoothly from beside her. The shorter brunette grit her teeth over the fact that she could actually hear the smile in the other woman’s tone.
"Yeah, just relax…" Said another voice, another female voice.

Root had contacted her that morning, having some how managed to sneak a letter into her cubby in the mail room at work.
She had suspected something was up as soon as she saw the restaurant. It was a fancy place, extremely fancy.
She gave her name at the door and was immediately led back to a private room where Root was already waiting.
The other brunette’s eyes were on her as soon as she made her way over the threshold. One eyebrow arching above the other as her eyes swept lazily up Shaw’s body.
"Don’t you clean up nice." She said before patting the cushion beside her.
She was seated comfortably on the plush couch in the room. A few candles flickered around them, the tallest of which were set out on the table.
"So, what’s the mission?" Shaw asked, ignoring Root’s comment as she approached the hacker, stubbornly staying on her feet.
"All work and no play, you deserve a little fun… Don’t you think?"
Shaw’s brow twitched and her expression darkened, “What’s the mission?” She repeated, clearly not amused.
"I don’t know the full details yet… But this is where we’re supposed to be." Root replied, her voice slipping into a neutral tone and her smile immediately disappearing.
"They should be bringing our menus shortly." She added, glancing toward the table for two.
"Wonderful…" Shaw muttered before finally settling herself on the couch. She was starving.

Root was right, as usual and a waitress had been in just moments later to bring their wine and menus.
She was young and attractive but Shaw didn’t like the way that she was looking at them. Or the way that Root was looking at her.
The ex agent had watched them eye each other up, the entire time feeling like she was missing something.
"What the hell was that about?" She asked, not bothering to hide her annoyance.
Root smiled, big and wide, flashing her teeth. She placed her elbows on the table before lowering her chin to the back of her hands. “Have you ever heard of sensual dining?”
Shaw’s head cocked to the side slightly and her eyes narrowed. “You’re kidding me.”
"Nope." Root said, smiling as she straightened back up to swirl the wine in her glass.
