While contemplating the ethical quandary of fraternization between boss and employee, Dr. Chakrabarti had discovered this caveat: what if the relationship remained professional, but one or both persons wished it to be more intimate?

They'd actually become quite close as friends, so they'd already crossed that one line, yet he still wondered: was romantic interest enough to lead to a disruption?

What had changed since he'd confirmed she was undead? What had happened when he'd become more aware of Liv as a person?

He really wanted to know if her heart could beat for him.

He knew it shouldn't matter.
