Burning Northgate Down

Summary:

Darcy Jones wasn't expecting her mentor to be so attractive, but Austin Michaelson has turned her world upside down. Charming, witty, tall, and handsome, Austin is everything Darcy has searched for in a man, but with one problem. He's married and ergo, off-limits in Darcy's mind, or so she thought. One night, one chance meeting in a town miles away from the office might change everything.

Note: This is my first story and will probably start out very short and very rough.

Notes:

Hey there! If you're reading this, thanks for taking the time to read my first work here. Any and all similarities to real people are purely coincidental, this story has bounced around my head for a while now! I'm so excited to get started. Not sure about updates, but I will as often as I can since I'm still in college.

This post is just a brief intro to establish a bit of the plot. I will definitely edit/add later as I figure everything out!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

It began with an average conversation at work. Darcy and Mr. Michaelson spent their conference period reminiscing about the weekend that had just ended. He, of course, went out to Northgate to spend a night out drinking with his old college buddies on Friday night. The days following were spent at home with his wife and baby. In contrast, young Darcy, spent the weekend celebrating her roommate's 21st birthday (she wouldn't celebrate hers until several weeks following). As her brief summary ended, Mr. Michaelson appeared to be deep in thought as he began to speak,
"You know what you should do is go halfsies with her and rent an Air BNB right near Northgate. It'll be safer and easier for y'all to go out that night."
Darcy agreed that it made sense, but waved Austin off. The probability that she would ever visit the party town was slim as she, an introvert, spent most of her weekends on dates with her friends Hulu and ESPN. A weekend of drunken debauchery enticed her as much as sticking a fork in a light socket did. Little did she know that she should have paid more attention to that conversation.

Austin merely laughed and shook his head at the weary intern, "If only you knew what you were missing out on."
