The news of the promotion caused a stir. They both knew it was between them. He felt a knot in his stomach every time he saw her. He'd never noticed her before. Now, she was all he saw.

He found himself mimicking her habits, how she held her pen, the way she tucked her hair behind her ear. He'd catch himself looking in the mirror to try to fix his hair, as though trying to emulate her image would make him more appealing. He caught her eye in the breakroom and quickly looked away, a strange heat flooding his face.

He found himself at the window, staring out at the parking lot, imagining her driving away after the day was over. He wondered what she did in her free time.
