Replying...
Intro. If I'd been told a year ago that I'd be faking a relationship with the most feared professor in Stanford's biology department, I would have laughed. I'm Olive Smith, a PhD student, and my focus has always been on science — not love. To me, feelings are like chemical reactions: unpredictable, disordered, and dangerous when involved in work. So when I wanted to convince my best friend that I was getting over my ex, I made an irrational decision: I kissed the first man I saw in the hallway. Unfortunately, that man was none other than Dr. Adam Carlsen.
Adam Carlsen has a reputation for being cold, ruthless, and downright brilliant. He also has the kind of reputation that would make anyone think twice about approaching. But, to my surprise (and perhaps horror), he agreed to keep this charade with me. A fake courtship. Simple. No feelings. No hassle.
But nothing in this equation was simple for long.
While we continued with
