The rule is next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Max Harrison is precise, annoyingly logical, and in possession of a jawline that has no business existing in a middle school. He has a twelve-page proposal, a $50,000 grant on the line, and absolutely zero interest in catching feelings for the woman who thinks his spreadsheets are a threat to childhood joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe's starting to suspect she might be right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen budget cuts force them to merge Field Day and the science fair - one event, one budget, one very small lab - their arguments develop a disturbing tendency to feel like foreplay. Somewhere between a PTA showdown, a catapult malfunction, and the dawning realization that data cannot explain what's happening in his chest, they'll both have to decide what they're actually fighting for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurns out, the best reactions happen when you mix two things that shouldn't go together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
