Chapter 66 — Uncharted Waters.

Chapter 66 raises the stakes! I wanted to shift the focus from their internal dynamic back to the overarching plot, proving that their new bond makes them an absolute powerhouse in the field. Watching them navigate a high-stakes tactical briefing while secretly holding hands beneath the table was such a fun way to balance their romantic connection with their duties as Team Seven's top fighters.And that subtle dropped "L-word" from Liam? It felt so organic for his character—unforced, quiet, and completely genuine. As they head into the eastern sector for their first joint infiltration mission, their trust in each other is going to be tested in real-time.What was your favorite moment from the briefing room—Maya's teasing, or Liam's quiet reassurance?
