It had been a long week. I didn’t know why I had called Mindy into my office or what I’d expected out of that meeting. But I definitely hadn’t been satisfied with the way things had gone. Seeing her again made me itch to pull her into my arms. I guessed there was a part of me that expected that if I got her into the same room as me, one of us was bound to snap. That we were bound to make a move.

It quickly became clear that that wasn’t going to happen. She had been polite enough but distant, her answers a bit clipped. It was nothing like that first meeting we’d had in my office. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something wrong, but I didn’t know how to ask about it. I was dying to know if I had done something wrong, but there was no way to get her to open up to me without getting in over my head again.

I knew better. I knew that I should never have asked her up there in the first place. It was bound to raise a few eyebrows, even if I also called Vera up there a couple of days later. But more than that, I was playing with fire. I was tempting fate. And I knew better. Logic told me I needed to forget about Mindy as anything other than a smart and talented intern, and that was what I’d decided I needed to do.

I was rattled, though. I was off my game. I was trying to focus on my work and be moderately successful at it, even, but my temper was a little too short. Abstractly, I knew that I probably needed to get laid. My levels of patience and relaxation generally typically correlated to how frequently I found myself in bed with some sexy young thing.

The trouble was that no one seemed able to capture my attention these days. What’s more, I didn’t feel like going out. I didn’t want to put in the effort to take home one-night stands. It was as though with the finalization of things with Kelly, somehow, I’d reached a point where I was ready for a relationship again.

Not that that’s what I was looking for with Mindy. I didn’t think so, anyway. But somehow, my thoughts seemed to keep coming back around to her, and if there was anyone I was going to sleep with to get me out of my funk… Except that I couldn’t sleep with her. I couldn’t cross that line again, and anyway, it didn’t seem like that would be something that she’d welcome. I didn’t know where things had even gone wrong, which meant I had no idea how to make things between us any better.

Wendell finally came in to talk to me, shutting the door carefully behind him. I could tell that whatever he was about to say wasn’t something he really wanted to. He looked more uncertain and hesitant than I had ever seen him before.
