Summary
Carl Morck, who had opinions about everything — and offered them freely, whether wanted or not — suddenly went quiet when things got intimate. Not withdrawn, not hesitant. Just… silent. Focused, yes. Present, definitely. But silent in a way that kept knocking Akram off balance.
It didn’t help that he knew Carl could make noise.
He’d heard it. It happened every time they ended up somewhere private but not at home. The car, especially, did something to Carl.

Summary
He didn’t have a clue how she decided on each session’s focus, since they seemed to bounce around from one area of his life to another, but on one particular day, after he’d been bemoaning the fact that Akram had once again chosen a case without any input from him and then proceeded to uncover lead after lead through his annoying competency, she put her finger right in the pie of his subconscious without even knowing she was doing it.
“Why did you throw yourself in the line of fire, that day?” she said.
Carl had been staring at a far off duck that had been swimming alone across the pond from where they sat, and her question made him cough, his mouth suddenly dry.
Talking to Rachel starts Carl thinking things about Akram that he'd rather not, thank you very much. Good thing those thoughts aren't very good at being repressed.

Summary
Carl and Akram do what they have to to get ahead in their investigations. And if that means pretending to be a couple sometimes... then so be it.
Kind of a 3 times Akram saw an opportunity to flirt with Carl +1 time he flirted with Carl anyway.
