Undercover

Being a spy is hard. Everyone knows that even if the general consensus is that it's all worth it. Most days, I agree. Some days I question the sanity of movie makers.
Being a spy means being sneaky. It means being clever.
It's risky. Pretending to be someone else, twisting yourself to fit into the box people expect.
It's a good thing I'm flexible.
The thing most people don't realize is that it gets harder with a partner, not easier.
Why?
It's simple, really.
Having a partner means that you have backup. That's not the problem. The problem is everything else.
It's the inside jokes you're just bursting to say and pretending you don't know them when all you want to do is hold on till the world feels a little kinder, a little more like something worth saving. It's knowing that someone will rescue you, but you can't do that because it'll just put more people at risk. It's knowing that it's not just your life on the line.
But in the end, a partner is always worth it.
Why?
Because nothing is sweeter than getting to say, 'I told you so.'
