Farren noticed as soon as she got to work that Monday that Rayner was in the office that day, and she felt a rush of excitement as she walked into Rayner Technologies that morning.

“Hey Rita. Hey, Toby.” She greeted as she walked past the front desk toward the hallway to her office.

As usual, Toby froze at the sight of her. Rita waved to her excitedly and greeted her back in her thick, Southern drawl. “Good mornin,’ Farren! Don’t you look chipper today?”

Did she? She wasn’t sure, but she had certainly felt a lift in her mood the moment she saw Rayner’s truck in the parking lot as she drove in. It felt different when he was there, and even if she didn’t speak to him much, it was still nice having him around.

She got to her office and started booting up her work station to get everything started for the day. No sooner had she sat down that the side door to Rayner’s office clicked open, and Rayner came walking through.

The smell of his cologne was the first thing to hit her, and she took a deep breath of him, savoring it while she could. She turned to see him approaching her desk, and she tried to hold back a giant smile that wanted to take up residence on her face.

“Good morning, sir,” she greeted him.

“Good morning. What have you got going on today?” he asked in the deep, husky voice she was so used to hearing now.

“Just those Wappler programs you had me making adjustments on last week. Did you have something else for me?” she asked, hopeful.

“Yes, I’ve got a new project I’ve been asked to help with for a security company across town. They want us to develop and install a new system, and I could use your help as a second pair of eyes to locate and identify any vulnerabilities. They’ve asked to have it done on a pretty tight deadline, so it’s going to require some long hours.”

He paused, searching her face for an indication that this might bother her in some way.

“Are you okay with that?” he asked.

“Of course,” she replied. “Just show me where to begin.”

The smile that lit his face had her melting inside, the one that revealed those tiny eye crinkles, and she wasn’t sure which warmed her more, the smile or his confidence in her skills to entrust her with a project like this.

That, and she would be working with him, one-on-one, for long hours until the project was done. She knew she shouldn’t be as ecstatic as she was about it, but it couldn’t be helped. She craved his nearness like her next breath, as unhealthy as that was.

In a thoughtless, momentary lapse, she threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tight with gratitude. She quickly realized it was a mistake, and was going to let go and put some space between them, hopefully managing to play it off like it was a normal, casual thing, but before she could let him go, she felt his arms close in around her body and press her close to him.
