    She was thinking about Clarke Griffin, her coworker, and more importantly, her secret lover. The thought of Clarke gave her both joy and unease.

    Clarke was a brilliant woman, but she was also private. She wanted to keep their relationship a secret, fearful of the consequences at work.

    Lexa understood her fears but yearned for more. She longed to share their love with the world, to not hide anymore.

    She decided to bring up the topic during dinner. "Clarke," she began, "I've been thinking. About us." Clarke looked at her, waiting.

    "Lexa," Clarke finally spoke, "I understand. But I'm scared. Scared of losing you, losing our jobs. I need time to think."
