"Imagine...": Catching Danny with one of his one-night stands and the two of you finally admitting your feelings.

You smiled to yourself as you traveled down the side walk of Chicago, Illinois. You had just made a rather large amount of money performing one of your most favorite magic tricks for a large crowd.

"Danny will be in complete shock," you thought to yourself as you shuffled a deck of cards. Your hands expertly maneuvered them just as your best friend Daniel Atlas had taught you years ago, back when you and he became a magical duo after his assistant left him.

You pulled the door of your apartment complex open, throwing your cards into your coat pocket. Pulling your backpack around, you unzipped the bag, digging through it for your key as you balanced your way up the stairs.

Sticking the metal into the lock, you heard it- the loud, obnoxious giggle of a woman who planned on getting anything she could from every girl's favorite magician. You sighed, knowing that this was just another one of his one-night stands. Yet, you could feel the ever-so-common pain in your chest.

Again, your heart was breaking. Little by little, your heart had lost a shard ever since you took stage with the man that fascinated you more than you ever thought to be possible. The moment he took your shaky hand to calm your nerves during a street performance, you had fallen in love with a man you knew would never love you.

"Can you do 52 different tricks on me?" the female voice behind the door seductively spoke, bringing you out of your self-pity state.

"You have got to be kidding me," you let yourself breathe, anger building inside you.

"I'll see what I can do," Danny said simply. You could see his face in your mind, a smirk plastered on his face and his eyebrows raising. Too cocky for his own good.

Without thought, you swung the door open. The girl did not once stop her attack on Danny's neck to look at you. Danny, however, did. His eyes grew in size as you stood there, arms crossed against your chest, waiting for his apology.

You heard Danny mumble something, flinging the girl off his body when she looked your way. He sat up slowly, his eyes never leaving yours. "You need to leave," he told the girl lying on the floor of your apartment.

You rolled your eyes, showing Danny that that was not enough of an apology to fix this, as the girl stood to gather her clothes, proclaiming the situation as embarrassing. She rattled on and on, but her words did not seem to faze Danny.

As the girl marched your way, she scowled at Danny through her annoyed comments. She met your gaze as her hand reached for the doorknob. You set your own on top of hers. "Don't worry. His magic isn't advanced enough to magically find your number."
