At first her only intention was to find him. She had a mission; one she intended not to fail.
After she'd found him, she played him like she'd played so many before. Learning that he was a nice guy was helping. At first …
When she found out how nice he was, playing him wasn't as easy anymore as she'd expected. She started to like him - and she denied it.
Later, her intention was to protect him, to keep him safe. She pretended to be his girlfriend. He being a nice guy was helping.
At this time she liked him even better - and she still denied it.
Month later she found herself being drawn into his life completely, treated like a part of his family. She told herself this was all part of the mission she intended to fulfill.
By then she knew he'd fallen for her. She also knew that feelings would finally compromise her assignment.
It was her intention to fulfill the mission, but she never intended to fall in love with him.
When she realized what had happened it was already too late, and denying wasn't the insurance against failure anymore she'd confided in.
So she stopped denying.
The End
