The injustice of it all burned in Amelia's chest. Ben, the fresh-faced graduate, was making more than her. After eight years! She was enraged, but also... intrigued. She found herself drawn to him, compelled to be near him.

She started to frequent the areas of the office he was most likely to be in. The coffee machine. The printer. His desk. She listened to the sound of his voice. She found herself smiling more often.

She was surprised by his wit and intelligence, which she hadn't noticed before. She wanted to know more about him, his ambitions, his life. She started to ask him questions about his work. She would laugh at his jokes, sometimes even before they were fully finished.
