Today's experiment: Combine one socially awkward science teacher with two beefy, former students. Mix well. 
 
 
 
I love watching chemicals bond, but I avoid the practice myself. When I'm not teaching, I'm hanging out with my cat and putting together puzzles. I shy away from romantic entanglements because I know firsthand the collateral damage they cause.

The other thing I can't ignore: we're falling for each other. 
 
 
 
With three hearts on the line, I can't risk destroying their close friendship and burgeoning business, not to mention reliving my own past pain. But is the chemical attraction between us too strong to ignore?
