- I had a crush on my coworker and decided to tell him when my contract was up.
- He told me he was flattered but that he had a girlfriend.
- I wonder if the timing was off, but I'm glad I put myself out there.
I remember noticing him early on at my former job. He was funny and had a sunny smile, but he also struck me as confident and competent. A wave of excitement filled my heart every time he was around me...
