Blurring the Lines

I had my career on lock-Sterling Industries, marketing exec, climbing the ladder like I had something to prove. Everything was perfectly in place, or so I thought. Then one spilled coffee and an impromptu connection with Ethan, the charming graphic designer with the mischievous smile, threw my world into chaos. What started as a simple collision-literally-quickly spiraled into something I didn't see coming.
Sure, I was drawn to him-his easy charm, his passion for art, the way he made life feel a little less predictable. But there's one tiny problem. He's a potential client. And if there's one rule I've never broken, it's mixing business with pleasure. Yet here we are, lines blurring faster than I can keep up. He says we should explore it. I say it's too risky. But maybe.just maybe, stepping over that line is exactly what I need.
The question is, am I brave enough to do it? Or will I lose it all-career, reputation, and maybe even my heart?
